Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine minced meat, chopped onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, chopped green chili, fresh coriander leaves, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, lemon juice, and yogurt. Mix well to ensure all the meat is coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For best results, let it marinate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Divide the marinated meat mixture into equal portions. Shape each portion into a long cylindrical kebab around a skewer.
- Lightly brush the kebabs with oil and place them on a baking tray or grill rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the kebabs are cooked through and have a slight char on the outside.
- Serve hot with mint chutney and freshly sliced onions. Enjoy the burst of Indian flavors!
Tips
- For a smoky flavor, you can grill the kebabs over a charcoal grill instead of baking them.
- For a vegetarian version, use minced paneer or tofu instead of meat.
- You can also add finely chopped bell peppers to the meat mixture for extra crunch.
