Instructions
- Heat mustard oil and fry the onions till they are golden brown. Strain the oil and keep aside to use in marination later. Grind the onions finely.
- Heat another clean pan. Add green cardamom, bay leaves, poppy seeds, coriander seeds, white cumin, black cumin and red button chilies. Roast these for 1-2 mins on medium-high heat until they are fragrant.
- Cool slightly and add to your grinder. Grind till they turn into a powder.
- In this powder, further add mace powder, nutmeg powder, salt, red chili powder, paprika powder and garam masala. Mix. This is your Bihari Kabab seasoning.
- To the beef strips, add the prepared seasoning, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, meat tenderizer and the leftover mustard oil. Mix well and leave to marinate for 2-4 hours. If you plan to marinate overnight then add the meat tenderizer just 2 hours before cooking.
- Take a metal or wooden skewers. If wooden, pre-soak them in water for 30 mins to avoid burning. Take a strip of beef and start threading it into your skewer. Thread 4-5 beef strips onto each skewer (it may vary depending on the length of your skewer). See the process in the video above.
- At this point, you can barbecue these kababs on a charcoal grill or bake them in oven.
- For pan-frying, heat 1-2 tablespoon of mustard oil in a pan. Then place your skewers and cook till they are no longer pink and cooked through.
- Put all the Bihari Kabab in a deep pan with a lid. Place a piece of foil in the middle and put a hot coal on it. Drizzle some oil and immediately cover the pan with lid or foil tightly. Give smoke for 8-10 mins.
- Garnish with fresh coriander, lemon wedges and red onion slices.
Notes
- Use 4-6 unsalted cashews if poppy seeds are not available.
- In Pakistan, you can ask your butcher to give you 'pasanday' meat or undercut meat for Bihari Kabab.
- If you have whole nutmeg and mace, then add it to the grinder with the roasted spices.
