Lamb Seekh Kebab is one of the most beloved dishes in Indian cuisine. These spicy grilled lamb skewers are made with fresh herbs, onion, ginger and loaded with Indian flavors.
In the food processor, add onion, ginger, mint, and cilantro and blitz until mixed all together.
2 onions, ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves, ⅓ cup cilantro, 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
In a mixing bowl, add the ground lamb, the onion mixture and all the spices and mix well until combined.
750 g ground lamb, 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin, 1 ½ teaspoon ground coriander, 1 ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cover and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions and mold all the portions onto skewers to form a sausage shape.
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preheat the grill, add the meat skewers and cook for 9-10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides. Serve warm!
Notes
Marinate the ground lamb in the onion mixture and a variety of spices overnight instead of just a few minutes or hours. This helps to infuse the ground lamb with flavor and tenderize the meat.
Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the kebabs so they won't stick to the grill.
I used wooden skewers and they work just fine, like the long metal skewer.
