Prepare a special spice mix by grinding 4-5 dried red chilies, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 4-5 cloves, 4 small green cardamom, 2-inch piece of cinnamon, and 1 large cardamom with 1 tsp salt and 1 1/2 tsp red chili powder until smooth.

In a pressure cooker, add 1/2 kg boneless chicken, the prepared spice mix, 3/4 cup soaked split chickpeas, 1 medium chopped onion, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 2-3 bay leaves, and 1/2 cup water.

Pressure cook on high flame until one whistle, then reduce flame and cook for 12-15 minutes.

After cooking, sauté the mixture on high flame for 4 minutes to evaporate excess water and add 1 tsp amchur powder (dried mango powder) and adjust salt if needed.

Separate the chicken pieces and shred them by hand to retain texture.

Grind the cooled chickpea mixture until smooth and combine with the shredded chicken, chopped onion, and chopped green chilies.

Add 1 egg for binding (optional) and mix well.

Shape the mixture into kebabs and freeze them if desired.

Heat 3-4 tbsp oil in a pan and fry the kebabs on medium flame until golden and crispy.
