Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 500 grams minced meat (lamb, beef, or chicken)
• 1 medium onion, finely grated
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste

For Cooking:

• Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)
• Extra oil for brushing

Cooking Method

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with grated onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, coriander leaves, mint leaves, yogurt, and all the spices. Mix well until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
   • Add lemon juice and oil, and mix again. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight for better flavor).

2. Shape the Kebabs:

   • Once marinated, take small portions of the mixture and shape them around the skewers, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape. Aim for cylindrical kebabs.

3. Cooking:

   • Grilling: Preheat your grill. Brush the kebabs lightly with oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
   • Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the kebabs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through and brushing with oil.
   • Pan-Frying: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Cook the kebabs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 8-10 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

4. Serving:

   • Serve hot with green chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges. You can also serve them with naan or rice.
