Here's a traditional recipe to make sheek kebabs

 Sheek kebabs are a delicious and flavorful Indian appetizer made from minced meat and a blend of aromatic spices. Here's a traditional recipe to make sheek kebabs:

Ingredients:

- 500 grams minced meat (can use lamb, beef, or chicken)

- 1 medium onion, finely chopped

- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced

- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped

- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 teaspoon ground coriander

- 1 teaspoon garam masala

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

- Salt to taste

- 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional, for binding)

- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for grilling

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Meat Mixture:**

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced meat with finely chopped onion, green chilies, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped coriander leaves, chopped mint leaves, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

2. **Marinate the Mixture:**

    - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the meat mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. Marinating overnight can enhance the flavors even further.

3. **Shape the Kebabs:**

    - After marination, take the meat mixture out of the refrigerator.

    - Take small portions of the mixture and shape them onto skewers or mold them into cylindrical shapes around the skewers. Press the mixture firmly onto the skewers to form kebabs. You can make them flat or elongated, depending on your preference.

4. **Grill the Kebabs:**

    - Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. You can also use a grill pan or broiler if you don't have a barbecue.

    - Lightly brush the kebabs with vegetable oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.

    - Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have developed a golden-brown color. Rotate the kebabs occasionally for even cooking.

5. **Serve:**

    - Once the sheek kebabs are cooked through and nicely charred, remove them from the grill.

    - Serve the kebabs hot with mint chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges on the side.

Enjoy your homemade sheek kebabs as a delightful appetizer or as part of a main course with naan bread or rice!
