• 1 medium Onion
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 1 piece Green chili
• 2 teaspoons Cumin powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Optionally, use a food processor for a finer texture.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step 3

Step 4

Mix in the cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the lemon juice and breadcrumbs to bind the mixture together.

Step 6

Combine everything thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and mold each portion around a skewer into a log shape.

Step 8

Ensure the kebabs are tightly packed on the skewers to prevent them from falling apart.

Step 9

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush each kebab with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Grill the kebabs for about 12-15 minutes, rotating them occasionally, until evenly cooked and browned on all sides.

Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
