Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Skewers

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped onion, chopped green chili, and chopped cilantro to the lamb mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  4. 4

    Bind the Mixture

    Crack the egg into the mixture and add breadcrumbs. Mix until the mixture holds together well.

Forming Kebabs

  1. 5

    Shape Kebabs

    Take a handful of the lamb mixture and mold it onto the soaked skewers, shaping into long kebabs. Make sure the mixture is firmly packed around each skewer.

  2. 6

    Chill the Kebabs

    Place the shaped kebabs on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during grilling.

Grilling

  1. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill Kebabs

    Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are evenly browned and cooked through.

  3. 9

    Check for Doneness

    Ensure the internal temperature of the kebabs reaches 70°C (160°F).

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve Hot

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
