Instructions
In a bowl with the ground chicken add in all the seasoning and mix until everything is well combined. You can let this marinate for 30mins-2hrs or you can use the mixture right away.
Shape the chicken mixture into small logs like kebabs and place them on a hot cast iron pan. Cook kebabs for 8-12 mins until they fully cooked all the way through. Brush them with ghee each side.
Once chicken is cooked, set aside on plate for 5-7 mins and let the chicken rest and sprinkle on the chaat masala. Serve as a kebab bowl with rice, grilled onions and peppers or with naan. Enjoy!
Replace chicken breast with ground Turkey or chicken or use chicken thighs.
For vegetarians replace chicken with 2 cups extra from tofu and 1-2 potatoes, boil and mash the potatoes and crumble the extra from tofu into a bowl, add the potatoes and remaining spices from the recipe.
I added 1 tsp red chili powder, 2 cloves of garlic grated into a small pan with 3 tbsp ghee and brushed this mixture on the kebabs right before serving.
Air fry them at 380F for 8-12 mins, check half way through and brush them with ghee.
Bake them at 400F for 8-10 mins, brush them with ghee half way through and flip them.
