Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb or beef
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Green chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds, roasted and ground
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with the finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander, and mint leaves.
Add ginger garlic paste, roasted cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the meat mixture. Knead well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the lemon juice to the mixture and knead again to ensure the juice is evenly distributed. This helps tenderize the meat.
Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. If you're using an oven, you can set it to broil.
Take a small portion of the meat mixture and shape it around a skewer to form a long cylindrical shape. Make sure it's tightly packed to the skewer. Repeat for the remaining mixture.
Brush the formed kebabs with melted butter to enhance the moisture and flavor during cooking.
Place the skewers on the hot grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred on all sides and cooked through.
Once done, remove the kebabs from the skewers and serve hot with naan or rice, accompanied by mint chutney or salads.
