Ingredients

• 500 grams ground mutton
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the yellow onion, garlic cloves, and ginger. A food processor can help achieve a fine paste-like consistency.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, chopped onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step 3

Finely chop the cilantro and mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the mutton mixture.

Step 4

Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, smoked paprika, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 5

Pour in the lemon juice and mix thoroughly until all the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mutton.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with cling film and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 7

Once marinated, divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. With slightly oiled hands, shape the portions into cylindrical kebabs around metal or wooden skewers.

Step 8

Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat. Brush coconut oil onto the grill grates or broiler pan to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place the skewered kebabs on the grill or broiler pan, ensuring they are not too crowded. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side, turning occasionally until evenly browned and cooked through.

Step 10

Check for doneness by cutting into a kebab to ensure the meat is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Step 11

Serve the mutton seekh kebabs hot, garnished with extra chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
