Sheekh Kabab Ingredients

Method

Sheekh Kabab Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a large bowl, combine the minced lamb, finely chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, cumin powder, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Refrigerate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Mixture

    Take small portions of the marinated lamb mixture and mold them around the skewers, shaping them into long kebabs.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kababs

    Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kababs are browned and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with mint chutney or yogurt sauce.
