👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture:

• In a large bowl, mix minced meat with onions, coriander, mint, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin, coriander powder, chili powder, chaat masala, besan (or bread crumbs), salt, and lemon juice.

• Mix well until combined and slightly sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.

2. Shape Kebabs:

• Take a handful of the mixture and shape it tightly around metal or wooden skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 mins).

• Make long cylindrical shapes, evenly pressed.

3. Cook the Kebabs:

Grilling method:

• Preheat grill or oven to 200°C (400°F).

• Place the skewers on a baking tray lined with foil or grill rack.

• Brush with oil or butter.

• Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with more oil, until cooked through and slightly charred.

Pan-fry method:

• Heat a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet.

• Brush with oil or butter.

• Cook kebabs on medium heat, turning gently until cooked and browned on all sides (about 12-15 minutes).

4. Serve:

• Remove from skewers carefully.

• Serve hot with green chutney, sliced onions, lemon wedges, and naan or paratha.

💡 Tips:

• Use fresh meat for best texture.

• Avoid over-mixing to keep kebabs tender.
