Ingredients

• 500 grams minced lamb
• 1 medium onion
• 2 small green chili
• 0.5 cup fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and green chilies, ensuring no large pieces remain. Use a paper towel to squeeze excess moisture from the chopped onion.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine minced lamb, chopped onion, green chilies, coriander leaves, ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until fully combined and homogeneous. This might take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and to improve binding.

Step 5

Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the mixture chills.

Step 6

Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and mold each portion onto a skewer, pressing and shaping into cylindrical kababs about 1-inch in diameter.

Step 7

Brush vegetable oil lightly on each kabab to prevent sticking and ensure a golden-brown finish.

Step 8

Place the skewered kababs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly until browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Serve hot with mint chutney and onion rings. Enjoy the delicious, spicy Seekh Kababs!
