Ingredients

• 500 g minced mutton
• 1 large onion
• 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 small green chilies
• 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves
• 2 tbsp roasted gram flour
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp garam masala powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the onion, and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel to prevent kebabs from becoming too soft.

Step 2

Finely chop the green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, and mint leaves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced mutton, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, fresh coriander, mint leaves, and roasted gram flour.

Step 4

Add cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, and salt to the minced mutton mixture.

Step 5

Mix all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mutton.

Step 6

Add lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of oil to the mixture. Knead the mixture well for about 5 minutes. This helps in binding and ensures soft kebabs.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Step 8

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Remove the mutton mixture from the refrigerator. Take a handful of mixture, and using wet hands, form it into a long sausage shape around a skewer. Press gently to ensure even thickness.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining mutton mixture and skewers.

Step 11

Brush the kebabs with a little oil before placing them on the grill.

Step 12

Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and a nice char on all sides.

Step 13

Remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges for a delightful appetizer.
