Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground lamb or beef
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Fresh coriander, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Mint leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds, roasted and ground
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with the finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander, and mint leaves.

Step 2

Add ginger garlic paste, roasted cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the meat mixture. Knead well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice to the mixture and knead again to ensure the juice is evenly distributed. This helps tenderize the meat.

Step 4

Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. If you're using an oven, you can set it to broil.

Step 6

Take a small portion of the meat mixture and shape it around a skewer to form a long cylindrical shape. Make sure it's tightly packed to the skewer. Repeat for the remaining mixture.

Step 7

Brush the formed kebabs with melted butter to enhance the moisture and flavor during cooking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the hot grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred on all sides and cooked through.

Step 9

Once done, remove the kebabs from the skewers and serve hot with naan or rice, accompanied by mint chutney or salads.
