Which Chutney Goes Best with Our Chicken Seekh? A Spicy Guide

Chicken Seekh Kebab is already a showstopper—minced chicken infused with spices, rolled onto skewers, and roasted in a tandoor until it sings with smokiness. But as every Tunday regular knows, the right chutney takes this dish from delicious to unforgettable.

At Tunday Kababi Dubai, we don’t treat chutney as a side note. It’s an essential cast member in the flavour ensemble. The herbs, the tang, the heat—they bring out hidden layers in your kebab, creating a bite that’s bold, refreshing, and complete.

Let’s dive into the world of chutneys and discover which one best complements your Chicken Seekh.

The Role of Chutney in Awadhi Cuisine

In Awadhi cooking, chutneys aren’t just sauces. They’re flavour amplifiers, providing contrast to grilled, rich meats. A tangy chutney will highlight the kebab’s smoky edges. A spicy one will lift its aromatic notes. A cool chutney? That’ll mellow the heat and bring creaminess to each bite.

At Tunday, we offer a selection of house-made chutneys, each prepared fresh with no shortcuts. You’ll find that they don’t just sit on the plate—they interact with your meal.

Mint-Coriander Chutney: The Classic Choice

This green chutney is the go-to for a reason. Made with fresh mint leaves, coriander, green chilli, lemon juice, and a hint of chaat masala, it’s bold and herbaceous.

With Chicken Seekh, it provides a clean, sharp contrast. The chutney’s cool mint tones play off the kebab’s warm spices, while the citrus and chilli add complexity. This pairing is all about balance—a spark of freshness to the deep, tandoori flavours.

Spicy Tomato Garlic Chutney: For the Heat Seekers

Looking for something with punch? Our tomato-garlic chutney delivers. Made from roasted tomatoes, garlic cloves, red chilli powder, and mustard seeds, this chutney has smoky heat, bold tang, and depth.

When paired with Chicken Seekh, it turns each bite into a fiery affair. The kebab’s fat and spice hold their own, while the chutney adds a savoury intensity that lingers long after the meal. It’s for those who love a bite that talks back.

Yoghurt-Mint Chutney: Cooling, Creamy, and Balanced

If you want a smoother experience, the yoghurt-based mint chutney is your best bet. Made with hung curd, mint paste, black salt, and a touch of sugar, it has a lush, mellow taste that softens the kebab’s edges.

This is especially appealing if you’re pairing your Chicken Seekh with spicier mains or sharing it with younger diners. It’s a palate-soother that lets the kebab shine without competition.

Which One Wins? It’s All About the Mood

No single chutney rules the roost. It depends on how you’re feeling:

  • Want contrast? Go green with mint-coriander.

  • Craving heat? Tomato garlic has your back.

  • Prefer soft edges? Yoghurt-mint is the one.

Each chutney tells a different story. And together, they let your Chicken Seekh play a different role on your plate every time.
