Start by washing the lean mutton mince thoroughly under cold water and let it drain completely.
In a spice grinder, finely grind the oats until they become a smooth powder. This will help bind the kebabs without using an unhealthy binder.
Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, ginger, and green chili.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mutton mince with the ground oats, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili.
Add the cilantro leaves, mint leaves, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt to the mixture.
Mix in the low-fat yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice, thoroughly combining all the ingredients until you achieve a uniform texture.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each portion onto skewers to create the traditional seekh kebab shape. Ensure they are compact enough so they don't fall apart while cooking.
Preheat a stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little olive oil.
Place the kebabs onto the hot grill pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are evenly browned and cooked through.
Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with extra cilantro or mint leaves and a side of fresh lemon wedges to add a zesty flavor.
