You can even use this same recipe for making it on grill. But the best part that I love about this recipes is the fact that it takes minimal amount of ingredients to put together compared to the long list that generally goes into it.
To say that I have forever been trying to get hold of a good seekh recipe wouldn’t be a lie. When I tried making it for the first time, it didn’t even stick to the skewer and I had to frantically change it into something else. Over the years, I have developed this easy, peasy Mutton Seekh Kabab recipe, Pakistani Style. This was more of experiments, learning from various Pakistani neighbors. And the Pakistani cookery channels did have an influence too.
Though I can’t single out a person to whom I can attribute this particular recipe, nevertheless, the Pakistani Cuisine had a great influence on it. With the core ingredients being same with the mutton keema, egg, and few basic spices, the other ingredients are just variables and can be replaced one ingredient with the other.
The egg acts as a binding agent to the seekh and helps to hold the mutton keema on the skewers intact. Though we won’t be using the skewers while cooking, still it is a good idea to mix the egg as the seekh mixture will not fall apart while frying.
I really like to add the finely minced onions as it gives a nice texture and crunch to the Mutton Seekh Kabab recipe, Pakistani Style. And hence they are also almost added every time I make the seekh.
Some tips for making the best Mutton Seekh Kabab recipe, Pakistani Style
- The ONE important tip which you have to remember is to grind them mutton mince in the processor after mixing all the spices.

- Adding the egg helps to hold the shape of the seekh. It prevents the keema from falling apart.
- If you do not have a food processor, use any kind grinder that is available.

I would say this is pretty much the best for a seekh that can be made on a stove top. But if you want most authentic taste of the restaurant style, then you will have to grill it 🙂
