Spicy Seekh Kebab
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds lean ground lamb
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon green chile paste
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 skewers
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for brushing, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine ground lamb, finely chopped onions, and a generous amount of fresh mint leaves in a large mixing bowl. Add some chopped cilantro and ginger paste to the mixture, stirring until well combined. Introduce a blend of spices - cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and a touch of heat from the cayenne - into the bowl, stirring until these flavors are evenly distributed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. Submerge skewers in cold water and let them soak for a while.
2
Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each portion onto a skewer to form a sausage-like shape. Place the skewers in the refrigerator until you're ready to fire up the grill.
3
Preheat your outdoor grill to extremely high heat and brush the grates generously with oil. Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning them frequently, until they're nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center - approximately 10 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat, aiming for at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
