Seekh Kebabs

Directions

• Step 1 Using a wooden spoon or your hands, combine all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Make sure all the ingredients are blended well together (you can also mix it all up in a food processor). Cover the bowl and refrigerator the mixture for 1 hour.
• Step 2 You can either use metal skewers or bamboo skewers
• Step 3 if you are using bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in water for 15-20 minutes before using them.
• Step 4 Remove the mixture from fridge. Apply oil/ water on your hands to prevent the meat from sticking to them, and divide the mixture into equal portions.
• Step 5 Take each portion and form it into a long sausage-like kebab, while pressing on to a skewer. Do this till the mix has firmly adhered to the skewer. Repeat till all the kebab mixture is used up.
• Step 6 Preheat the oven to 200*C. Grill the kebabs for about 10 minutes, and when the juices start to drip, remove the tray and turn over the kebabs carefully one at a time. Return to the oven and grill for another 7-8 minutes. You can also grill them on a pan with oil. Make sure not to overcook them so that the meat doesn’t get too dry.
• Step 7 Remove from the pan and serve with lime wedges, spiced yogurt and salad.
• Step 8 Note: You can use any kind of ground meat for this – beef, lamb or chicken. But it should not be too lean, or it will turn out dry when you grill them.
