Kebab

Delight in the rich, smoky flavours of authentic Kebabs. These succulent, spiced minced meat skewers—typically made from lamb or chicken—are expertly blended with aromatic herbs and traditional spices, then grilled to perfection over an open flame. Perfectly juicy with a slightly charred exterior, Kebabs are a staple in South Asian cuisine, often enjoyed with fresh naan, mint chutney, and a squeeze of lemon. Whether as a starter or a main dish, they promise an irresistible fusion of taste and texture.

Ingredients  

• 500g lamb mince 20% fat mince works best
• 5 tbsp Kebab spice mix

Instructions 

• Break up your mince into smaller pieces and add to a mixing bowl.
• Take the Kebab spice mix and add to the mince. Now it's time to get your hands dirty and mix the spice blend into the mince making sure all of the mince is consistently covered in the spice blend.
• You can leave the mince to marinade for an hour for best results but it's not essential.
• To build the kebab, take ¼ of the seasoned mince and roll into a ball in between your hands. Once you've formed a ball, you should then slowly roll the ball into more of a sausage shape. You can do this by rolling it on the work surface.
• Insert the skewers through the middle of the kebab and then gently press the kebab along the skewer. If you are using the air fryer, you should skip this step.

Cooking with skewers under the grill (for best results)

• Turn the grill onto maximum and cook the skewers for 20 minutes. Turn them every 5 minutes.

Cooking in the air fryer

• Place the seekh kebabs in the air fryer and cook for around 12 minute at 200℃

TOP TIPS:

Add some chopped onions to the mince for added texture. (be sure to squeeze out any excess water)

If you like it spicy add some chopped or grated green chillies & ginger.

Works perfectly as burgers or even Chapli kebabs.
