Chicken Seekh Kebab, your questions
Can I microwave ITC Master Chef Chicken Seekh Kebab?
Yes, these kebabs are microwave friendly. Heat 3-4 frozen kebabs on high for about 3 minutes, rest a minute, and serve.
How many kebabs come in the 500g pack?
Each 500g pack contains 10 seekh kebabs, roughly 4-5 servings as a starter.
Are these kebabs spicy?
They carry a classic seekh masala profile, aromatic and moderately spiced rather than hot. Pair with mint chutney and onion rings.
How do I get a chargrilled flavour at home?
Finish pan-cooked kebabs directly over a low open flame for 20-30 seconds per side, or use the air fryer at 200°C for the last 2 minutes.
How long can I keep a frozen snack pack after opening?
Take out only the pieces you need, reseal the pack tightly and return it to the freezer (-18°C) immediately. Used this way, the product stays good until the best-before date printed on the pack. What shortens its life is time spent outside the freezer, never let the pack sit out and soften between servings.
Can I refreeze a pack that has thawed?
No. If the contents have fully thawed, cook them and refrigerate the cooked snacks (eat within 1-2 days). Refreezing thawed product damages texture and is a food-safety risk. A pack that is still firm with ice crystals can go straight back into the freezer.
Do I need to thaw frozen food before cooking?
No, breaded and coated snacks are designed to cook straight from frozen; thawing first makes them soggy and can cause fillings to leak. The exception is raw items like prawns, which should be thawed as directed on the pack before cooking.
My pack softened a little during delivery, is it still safe?
Quick-commerce deliveries travel in insulated bags, so brief softening on a hot day is normal. If the pieces are still firm or icy, put the pack straight into the freezer, it's fine. If the contents are fully thawed and soft, cook them the same day and do not refreeze.
I don't have an air fryer, how else can I cook these?
Every ITC Master Chef snack can be shallow-fried on a pan or tawa, or deep-fried in a kadhai. Many also work in a standard OTG/oven at 200°C. Exact times for each method are on the pack and on every product page.
How do I know which products are vegetarian?
Check the FSSAI marking on the pack, a green dot means vegetarian, a brown/maroon dot means non-vegetarian. On this site, every product page also lists it, and the Veg and Potato ranges are fully vegetarian.
