Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a large bowl, combine the minced lamb, chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until 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

    Prepare Skewers

    Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using wooden skewers to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Shape Kababs

    Take the marinated lamb from the refrigerator. Wet your hands with water, then take a portion of the mixture and mold it around each skewer, forming long kababs.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kababs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kababs for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.

  6. 6

    Serve

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