Deshni’s Delicious Kebab Recipe
This is a great recipe to prepare for the family because it feels special and is easy for little hands to grab hold of! Plus you can accompany it with whatever you fancy, pitta bread, rice, salad...
Ingredients for 8 – 10 kebabs
Ingredients:
500g minced lamb (or other minced meat or potato)
2 Cloves garlic
1 Onion
3cm Ginger
4 Chilies (to taste)
Handful fresh coriander (and or mint)
½ Teaspoon ground coriander
1 Teaspoon ground cumin
1 Teaspoon cumin seeds
½ Teaspoon black pepper
½ Teaspoon turmeric
½ Teaspoon garam masala
½ Lemon
1 Tablespoon oil
Salt to taste
Method
Place the minced meat in a bowl (if you are using potatoes cook them until they are soft and place them in a bowl)
Finely chop the onion, chili, fresh coriander (mint if you are using it), grind or grate the ginger and garlic, crush cumin seeds if you are using them, and add it all to the meat
Add all of the dry spices, a squeeze of lemon, some salt and some oil to help combine the ingredients
Mix all of the ingredients together with your hands until they are combined (this is the same with potato, it should mash in your hands)
If you have kebab sticks mold it around the stick, if you don’t you can make patties or burger shapes with the mixture
Cook it under the grill or in the oven from approximately 15 minutes, turning it once, you can also fry it if don’t have an oven
