For a smoky flavour, you can smoke the seekh mixture before shaping the kebabs by placing a lit coal on a piece of foil and placing it in the middle of the bowl holding the mixture. Then drop a bit of oil on the coal and cover the bowl for 2 minutes to retain the smoke in the bowl for the mixture to absorb it. Once done, discard the coal and proceed with the instructions.
