Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground mutton
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh mint
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (unsalted)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 2

Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, ground black pepper, turmeric powder, and chili flakes (if using) to the bowl.

Step 3

Add the freshly chopped cilantro, mint, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 4

In the same bowl, add one beaten egg and unsalted breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together. If it feels too wet, add an additional tablespoon of breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape each portion into oval or round kebabs, about 2 inches in length or as desired.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the kebabs gently into the pan, ensuring there is adequate space between them.

Step 7

Cook the kebabs for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Remove the kebabs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with a side of fresh salad, yogurt dip, or whole wheat pita bread. Enjoy your low-sodium spiced mutton kebabs!
