Cuisine : Prawn Sheek Kabab - How to make this tasty Indian item

 

Winter evenings often bring with them the craving for crispy, fried snacks. However, indulging too much can be unhealthy. If you’re looking for a dish that’s both satisfying and health-conscious, kebabs are the perfect option. While chicken and mutton kebabs are common, you can try something different this time with Chingri Sheek Kebab (Prawn Skewers). Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

500 grams of small prawns

3 slices of bread

1 cup fried onions

½ cup chopped coriander leaves

3 tablespoons chopped green chilies

2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

Salt to taste

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 tablespoon cumin powder

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Butter and oil as required

Method:

1. Prepare the Prawns:

Clean the prawns thoroughly; you don’t need to remove the heads. Heat a little oil in a pan and lightly fry the prawns.

2. Blend the Mixture:

Transfer the prawns to a blender, add a little water, and grind them into a paste.

3. Combine the Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the prawn paste, soaked and drained bread, fried onions, coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, and a little oil. Mix everything well to form a uniform mixture.

4. Chill the Mixture:

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.

5. Shape and Grill:

Take the prawn mixture and wrap it evenly around skewers. Grill the kebabs, brushing them with butter intermittently, until the mixture is cooked through and has a golden-brown finish.

6. Serve:

Once done, drizzle some lemon juice over the kebabs and serve hot with mint chutney.

Enjoy your flavorful Chingri Shik Kebab!
