I prefer to make a large batch of Seekh Kabab and freeze them for later use. That way, whenever I want to make Kabab Karahi, I simply follow this recipe. This is the most hassle-free recipe as I know exactly how they’ll turn out in terms of taste and quality. This way, I can focus on other parts of the dish, like the Karahi base, without worrying about how the Seekh Kababs will taste.

Step-by-Step Process with Pictures

1. Begin by heating oil in a pan. Add sliced tomatoes, capsicum, and onions. Put in soy sauce and chili flakes into vegetables and sauté for about 2 minutes. Make sure the veggies don’t get too soft and still hold their crunch. Then, take them out of the pan.

2. In the same pan, brown onions over medium heat until they change color.

3. Meanwhile, blend tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chilies into a paste.

4. Add the tomato-based paste to the browned onions in the pan.

5. Season the mixture with salt, turmeric powder, chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook until the oil begins to separate.

6. Sprinkle roasted cumin seeds and garam masala powder into the mixture and combine well. Add 1/4 cup water to adjust the consistency if it gets too thick.

7. Then, introduce pre-cooked Seekh Kabab pieces into the gravy. Lower the heat, stir gently, cover the pan with a lid, and let the dish simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

8. Add the sautéed vegetables over Kabab gravy.

9. Infuse a smoky flavor into the dish using the coal smoking method.

9. Finally, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Special Instructions

1. If you made fresh Kababs using the recipe, you’re good to go. But if you’re using frozen Kabab, remember to defrost them properly before cooking. Defrosting ensures they keep their flavor and texture, so they taste just right in your dish.
2. Since the Seekh Kababs are already cooked, remember to tweak the cooking time when putting them in the curry. Just add the Kababs near the end of cooking to warm them up without cooking them too much.
3. If the Kababs are large, consider cutting them into smaller pieces before adding them to the curry. This way, the Kabab will be spread out evenly and won’t fall apart when you mix them into the curry.
4. When adding the Kabab to the curry, stir gently to avoid breaking them apart. Carefully add them into the curry and simmer gently on low flame to allow the flavors to blend.
