Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the seekh kebabs on all sides until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Browning the kebabs adds depth of flavor to the stew. - 4
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the remaining finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the masala.

Stir in the yogurt and cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's well incorporated.

Add the browned seekh kebabs back into the pot. Pour in the water, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the kebabs are tender and the gravy has thickened.
