Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g (1 lb) minced meat (lamb, beef, or chicken)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp gram flour (besan)
  • 2 tbsp oil (mustard oil or vegetable oil) for brushing
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 500g (1 lb) minced meat with finely chopped onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, and green chilies.
  2. Add ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, black pepper, salt to taste, and gram flour. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands until evenly combined.
  3. Toss in chopped fresh coriander and mix until the mixture is slightly sticky. Add more gram flour if too loose.
  4. Shape the mixture firmly around skewers into long cylinders about 6 inches (15 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (charcoal grill preferred for authentic smoky flavor).
  6. Brush kebabs lightly with oil and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned outside and juicy inside. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
  7. Remove kebabs from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use fresh minced meat with 15-20% fat for best juiciness. Wet hands when shaping kebabs to prevent sticking. Avoid pressing kebabs while cooking to retain juices. If no grill is available, cook on a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Adjust chili quantity to taste. Gram flour helps bind without heaviness; can substitute with chickpea or rice flour for dietary needs.
