Kebab Ingredients

Method

Kebab Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Form the Kebabs

    Take a portion of the mixture and mold it around each skewer, shaping it into a long, cylindrical kebab. Ensure the meat is packed tightly to prevent it from falling apart during cooking.

  4. 4

    Marinate

    Drizzle olive oil over the kebabs and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

  5. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  6. 6

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and has a nice char.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve hot with your choice of sides such as naan, rice, or salad.
