Ingredients

  • ½ kg ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1 onion fried and crushed
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 2 tablespoon gram flour
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • ½ teaspoon mace powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds roasted and crushed
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon papaya paste optional
  • 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves chopped
  • 2-3 green chilies chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients in mince and either grind the mixture with the hand blender or use a food processor.
  2. Take everything out in a bowl.
  3. Heat a piece of charcoal, put a piece of foil in the middle of the mince and place the lit charcoal on it. Add a few drops of oil and immediately cover the bowl. Let sit for 8-10 mins.
  4. Then remove the coal and discard. And refrigerate the mixture for 3-4 hours.
  5. Make croquette style kebabs from the mixture. You can wrap them around a wood or metal skewer. Or to give that authentic shape take a jumbo size smoothie straw and put the kebab around it. Remove the straw before frying.
  6. Heat some oil for shallow frying. On medium heat fry the kebabs till cooked and brown on all sides.
  7. Drain excess oil on a paper towel.
  8. Serve hot with your choice of chutney.

Notes

  • They taste best when made with beef. If you prefer mutton, lamb or chicken, you can use that too.
