Lamb Seekh Kebab
I felt adventurous as I looked at the gorgeous piece of Lamb at the supermarket. It looked perfect in that large freezer and it seemed to call for my attention. I already knew what to do with it! Yes, Seekh Kebab! They make a nice starter and since they’re oven-baked, they are very juicy and rich in flavour. Yummy!
Are you ready to make your own Seekh Kebab? Then, grab your knife (you will be chopping a lot today) and let’s get started!!
I make my own minced meat (it’s fairly easy with my electric mixer that comes with a few options: blender, mixer, meat mincer). You can also buy minced meat for this recipe. For the spices, you can play with the dosage according to your taste, especially with the chilli.
Ingredients:
- 500g Minced Lamb Meat
- 1 Big Onion
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Green Chilli (You can also use chilli powder)
- 2 Tablespoons Garam Masala
- 1 Tablespoon Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Cardamon Powder
- 1 Pinch of Nutmet
- 3/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 1/4 clove of Ginger
- 2 Tablespoon Anise Powder
- 1 Bunch of Coriander Leaves
- 1 handful of Mint Leaves
- 1 Tablespoon MeltedButter or Oil (Or Ghee)
- 3 or 4 Teaspoon Lime Juice (Optional)
- Rice Flour
- Oil
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven
- Chop your onions into big chunks. Cut the Coriander Leaves.
- In your grinder, add the onions, coriander leaves, ginger and garlic. Blend until it forms a thick paste.
- Chop the mint leaves finely.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the lamb, the thick onion paste, the rest of the ingredients, except the rice flour. Don’t be afraid to use your hands, you’ll work faster.
- Next, add a tablespoon or two of rice flour. This will help to absorb some of the moisture from the mixture. You will shape the kebabs faster this way.
- Next, take a small ball of the mixture and shape it like mini sausages or in small meat balls.
- Set your kebabs on a baking tray, lined up with a baking sheet. Brush the kebabs with oil.
- Bake your kebabs at 160 C for 20 Minutes. After 20 Minutes, flip them and bake them another 10 minutes.
- Your kebabs are ready to be enjoyed!
