Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mutton (ground, preferably with some fat)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Gram flour (besan)
- 3 tablespoons Ghee or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped mint leaves.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground paprika, ground turmeric, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the mutton mixture.
Pour in the lemon juice and mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices throughout the meat.
Add the gram flour to the mixture. This will act as a binder and help the kebabs hold together.
Using your hands, knead the mixture for a few minutes to ensure it is well combined and slightly sticky.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long kebab shape, rolling it gently between your palms. You can insert skewers if desired or keep them skewer-free.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add ghee or oil to lightly coat the pan.
Cook the kebabs in batches, turning them occasionally to ensure all sides are evenly browned and the meat is cooked through. This should take about 12-15 minutes per batch.
Once cooked, transfer the kebabs to a serving plate and let them rest for a minute or two.
Serve hot with mint chutney, yogurt dip, or a side of fresh salad.
