Master the art of making an authentic Seekh Kebab recipe. These spiced minced meat skewers are perfect for grilling and make a delicious addition to any meal or BBQ.
Ingredients
- 1 kg mince lamb, with fat
- 3 tsp garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tsp ginger, finely chopped
- 1 red onion, very finely chopped
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tsp ground coriander
- 3 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp red chilli flakes
- 2 slices bread, crust removed and blitz in food processor until bread crumbs
- 5-6 green chillies, finely chopped
- 2 handfuls fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 1 handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
- melted butter optional
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients (except the butter) in a bowl and marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight to allow the flavours to full marinate into the meat.To save time, you could put the un chopped garlic, ginger, onion, green chillies and spices in the food processor and blitz to a a finely chopped consistency, then mix in the lamb mince by hand.
- Then divide the mince mixture into equal balls, you should be able to make thirty equal balls, get your skewer, and pierce the ball with the skewer, then push the mince along the skewer so it's around 6 inches in length.
Cooking by frying pan
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan, bring to a medium heat, then gently place the skewers into the pan and cook the seek kebabs. Turn the kebabs so all sides cook equally. Brush with butter as it cooks. This should take 7-8 minutes to cook through.
Cooking by oven
- Place the kebabs on foil or a non stick oven tray. Let the kebabs cook on 180C in a fan assisted oven for 15 minutes. You can brush the kebabs with butter as they cook.
Cooking by air fryer
- Place a table spoon of oil in the air fryer and then place the kebabs in the air fryer. Cook on 180C for 10 minutes. You can pause it half way through cooking to brush with butter then continue to cook.
Cooking by grill/BBQ
- Cook on the grill and rotate so all sides cook thoroughly. Depending on the strength of the bbq/ grill, this should again take 10-15 minutes. Turn the kebabs over half way as they are cooking. Brush with butter on an adhoc basis.
