Steps:
- Place lentils in a container. Pour in enough water to cover and let soak, at least 30 minutes. Drain.
- Combine drained lentils, 4 1/4 cups water, ground chicken, onion, green chile peppers, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer until water has been mostly absorbed and lentils are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Place the lentil mixture in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Stir in cilantro.
- Shape mixture into patties and dip into beaten eggs.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry patties in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

[email protected]These kebabs are a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them. Then I can just pop them in the oven when I'm short on time.

[email protected]I made these kebabs with ground turkey instead of lamb and they were still delicious. I think any ground meat would work well in this recipe.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but I loved these kebabs. The spices really masked the chickpea flavor.
