- Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with oil and place them on the grill.
- Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Brush the kebabs with a little more oil and sprinkle some chaat masala (a spice blend) on top for added flavor.
- Serve the seekh kababs hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.
