  3. Allow to cool and grind everything together to make a fine paste.

  4. Add egg, chopped mint and coriander into the mixture and mix well. Keep aside.

  5. Meanwhile, take a bowl and prepare the filling by mixing the hung curd with finely minced onion, salt, green chili and coriander powder.

  6. Pinch a lemon size ball of the kebab paste and flatten it between your palms like a disc.

  7. Place a small filling of the hung curd and cover up the filling.

  8. Cover from all sides nicely and again flatten it to shape a disc and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.

  9. Heat a skillet or shallow frying pan with a little oil.

  10. Once the oil is hot, fry in hot oil till browned on a medium heat and flip to brown evenly on the other side too.

  11. Transfer the kebabs once shallow fried, on a kitchen napkin to soak excess oil.

  12. Serve the Hyderabadi Chicken Shikampuri Kebab Recipe along with dips like Dhaniya Pudina Chutney Recipe (Green Chutney) and other appetizers like Tawa Crispy Pomfret Fry Recipe for your house parties.
