Traditional Lamb Kebab Recipe
Ingredients
- 500g Lamb Mince: High-quality meat is essential for a juicy kebab.
- Aromatics: 1 finely chopped onion, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, and fresh coriander.
- Mumbai Square Spice Blend: 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp cumin powder, and chili flakes to taste.
- Binding: 1 tbsp gram flour (besan) to keep the shape.
Preparation
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince with all spices and aromatics. Knead well to ensure the flavors are even.
- Rest: Let the mixture chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the kebab stay together on the skewer.
- Shape: Mold the meat into long cylinders around metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- Grill: Cook over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning regularly until charred and succulent.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the secret to a juicy kebab?
The secret is the fat content! Ensure your lamb mince has about 20% fat. At Mumbai Square, we use traditional techniques to keep our Indian cuisine moist and flavorful.
Can I make these without a grill?
Yes! You can pan-fry them or use an oven at 200°C. However, for that authentic Indian restaurant taste, a charcoal grill or Tandoor is best.
