Ingredients
- 500 grams ground mutton
- 1 medium red onion, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
- 10 pieces bamboo skewers (or metal)
Directions
Step 1
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground mutton, minced red onion, garlic, grated ginger, and fresh cilantro.
Step 3
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until evenly combined.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long oval shape around the skewer, pressing firmly to ensure the meat adheres well. Repeat for all portions.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Cook the kebabs for 6-8 minutes on each side, turning them carefully to ensure even browning. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the kebabs to a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Serve warm with a side of grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or drizzled with a Whole30-compliant sauce of your choice.
