Recipe Notes

  • After boiling the chicken dry it completely, otherwise while blending it will become a paste.
  • Carefully blending leads to a perfect kabab.
  • By adding ingredients one by one just blend for a second and blend it coarsely.
  • Always fry the kabab over a medium flame, if the flame is low the kabab will absorb oil and if it is high the kabab will burn.
