  • On Gas Stove: Heat a non-stick pan, drizzle with oil, and shallow fry the kebabs until golden brown.
  • In Microwave/Oven: Preheat your oven and grill the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes and applying oil as needed.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the Veg Seekh Kebabs hot, sprinkled with chaat masala and garnished with onion rings. They pair wonderfully with green chutney or a tangy yogurt dip.
