Instructions
- To make the kebab mixture, combine the chopped lamb meat with tail fat (or minced lamb), chili flakes, red pepper paste, and salt.
- Mix the ingredients together with your hands until you have an evenly sticky mixture.
- Divide your lamb mixture into four equal parts.
- Wet your hands with water in between handling the minced meat and then mold the meat around the skewer to form a flattened kofte kebab.
- The best way to cook them is on charcoal but you can cook them on a gas BBQ, on a griddle pan, or even in the oven. It takes 15 to 20 minutes on the BBQ, 10 to 12 minutes on the griddle, and 18 to 20 minutes in a 200 °C preheated oven.
- Make sure to turn the kebabs a few times to ensure all the sides are cooked equally.

- You can use metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for half an hour.
