Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground mutton (or minced mutton)
- 1 medium (finely grated) Onion
- 3 large (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1.5 tablespoons (grated) Ginger
- 3 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
- 2 small (finely chopped, optional) Green chilies
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (nut-free)
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking or brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, grated onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped cilantro.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the finely chopped green chilies (if using), lemon juice, and the egg. Mix again to bind the mixture together.
Gradually add the breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds its shape but is not too dry.
Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape each portion into a kebab (oval or cylindrical) using your hands.
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil. Place the kebabs on skewers or directly on the grill, and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
If cooking on a stovetop, heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the kebabs in batches, turning occasionally, for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
If baking, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the kebabs on a greased baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15-18 minutes, turning once halfway through, until cooked and slightly charred.
Serve the kebabs hot with a side of mint yogurt dip, fresh salad, or flatbread.
