Kebab Ingredients

Method

Kebab Preparation

1

Prepare the Meat Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine minced meat, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, garam masala, fresh coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2

Shape the Kebabs

Take a portion of the meat mixture and mold it around the skewer, shaping it into a cylindrical kebab. Repeat with the remaining mixture and skewers.

3

Cook the Kebabs

Heat oil in a grill pan or barbecue. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the kebabs are well browned and cooked through.

4

Prepare the Roti

While the kebabs are cooking, prepare roti bread by rolling out dough and cooking on a hot skillet until lightly browned on both sides.

5

Assemble and Serve

Once kebabs are cooked, remove them from the skewers and place them on a roti. Roll the roti around the kebab and serve with mint chutney or yogurt sauce.
