Kebab Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Kebab Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape Kebabs

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around a skewer to form kebabs. Ensure they are tightly packed to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the kebabs are browned and cooked through.
