Make authentic Kebab Chutney with this foolproof recipe. Packed with rich traditional flavor, step-by-step photos, and cooking tips by Denisiya on EatMee Recipes.

This Kebab Chutney is so yummy & easy to prepare. The kebabs can be homemade from scratch or you can find the pre-made ones at local Indian butcheries.
For this recipe, I used the pre-made kebabs which I found to be much quicker. If you want to make your own kebabs, simply mix together mince, spices of your choice, chilies, coriander & egg to bind it. Roll into balls & you have your homemade kebabs.
Peel & sliver onion. Set aside.

Rinse & slit green chillies. Set aside.

Grate or blend the tomatoes. If choosing to grate them – rinse tomatoes, cut off the ends of each tomato & then slice each one into halves. Place the flat & fleshy side of the tomato onto the grater, & grate the flesh of the tomatoes into a bowl. Discard of the tomato skins. If choosing the blending option – rinse tomatoes, cut off the ends of each tomato & then slice each one into quarters. Place the tomatoes with the skin into a blender & pulse for a few seconds until the tomatoes are finer but not too runny, as the image below.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan. Once the oil has heated, add in the kebabs.

Fry for about 5-6 minutes on the first side.

They should be nice & browned. Then toss them over & allow the other side to fry for another 5-6 minutes.

Once the kebabs are cooked, remove from oil & set them aside.

For a healthier alternative, you may place them onto a baking tray & grill them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until golden.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium sized pot. Add in the onions, green chilies, curry leaves & thyme.

Mix well & simmer until the onions are translucent.

Add in the chilli powder & ginger & garlic paste, followed by the grated or blended tomatoes.

Mix well.
Cover & simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the oil surfaces & the tomatoes are thoroughly cooked.
When the tomatoes have cooked, add in the sugar & salt to taste. Stir.
Next, add in the fried or grilled kebabs.

Mix & allow the kebabs to absorb the flavours for 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh coriander (dhania).

Serve this Kebab Chutney hot with rice, bread or roti.
