Ingredients

• 500 grams Mutton (ground, preferably with some fat)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Gram flour (besan)
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground paprika, ground turmeric, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the mutton mixture.

Step 3

Pour in the lemon juice and mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices throughout the meat.

Step 4

Add the gram flour to the mixture. This will act as a binder and help the kebabs hold together.

Step 5

Using your hands, knead the mixture for a few minutes to ensure it is well combined and slightly sticky.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long kebab shape, rolling it gently between your palms. You can insert skewers if desired or keep them skewer-free.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add ghee or oil to lightly coat the pan.

Step 8

Cook the kebabs in batches, turning them occasionally to ensure all sides are evenly browned and the meat is cooked through. This should take about 12-15 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the kebabs to a serving plate and let them rest for a minute or two.

Step 10

Serve hot with mint chutney, yogurt dip, or a side of fresh salad.
