Ingredients

• 500 g Ground mutton
• 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, grated Fresh ginger
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup, finely chopped Fresh mint leaves
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, for grilling Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton with finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, mint, and green chili until well mixed.

Step 2

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mutton mixture.

Step 3

Pour in the lemon juice and mix everything thoroughly using your hands, ensuring that the spices and herbs are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Once the mixture is well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

While the grill heats, divide the mutton mixture into 8 equal portions. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, then shape each portion around a skewer to form a long, cylindrical kebab.

Step 7

Brush the kebabs lightly with coconut oil to prevent sticking to the grill.

Step 8

Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 7 minutes on one side until the bottom is nicely charred, then turn them carefully to cook the other side for another 7 minutes, or until fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo mutton seekh kebabs hot, garnished with extra mint leaves and lemon wedges.
