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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped green chilies (if using), lemon juice, and the egg. Mix again to bind the mixture together.

Step 4

Gradually add the breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds its shape but is not too dry.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape each portion into a kebab (oval or cylindrical) using your hands.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the kebabs hot with a side of mint yogurt dip, fresh salad, or flatbread.
