Ingredients

  • For the Kebab Mixture:
  • 500 g minced mutton keema, preferably with a little fat
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 green chilies finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 slice of bread soaked in 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 egg for binding
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ghee optional – adds richness

For Cooking:

  • Ghee or oil for shallow frying
  • Skewers for grilling or pan

Instructions

🔸 Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

  • In a large bowl, mix the minced mutton with all the ingredients.
  • Squeeze out excess milk from bread and add it as a binder.
  • Mix thoroughly using your hands until smooth and well combined.
  • Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (optional for best texture).

🔸 Step 2: Shape the Kebabs

  • Take small portions of the mixture and shape into flat round patties or cylindrical kebabs.
  • If using skewers, mold the mixture around them.

🔸 Step 3: Cook the Kebabs

  • Pan Method: Heat oil or ghee in a non-stick pan. Shallow fry kebabs on medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Grill Method: Preheat grill and cook kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, basting with ghee.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot with green chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges.
  • Pair with rumali roti, naan, or enjoy with pulao.

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • Use coarse mince (not paste-like) for a meatier texture.
  • Add smoked flavor by placing a piece of hot charcoal in a bowl inside the mixture, add ghee on top, cover for 2–3 minutes.
  • Don't overcook, or kebabs will dry out.
