Kebabs BBQ/Grill
Grill or BBQ
This is an excellent recipe for kebabs, passed down to me by my mother.
Ingredients
2lb lamb/beef/chicken mince
(if cooking kebabs on skewers on bbq, best results are achieved with mince that has at least 25% fat, lean mince is fine for burgers that are to be cooked under a hot grill)
Special masala - 2 tbs cumin, 2 tbs dry coriander, 1 tsp black peppercorns - dry roast in a frying pan for 1 min, moving around the pan or for 30secs in the microwave, cool and coarsely grind in an electric grinder or use readymade garam masala
1 tsp ajwan - bruise with fingers before adding (optional)
1 tbs ground cassia/cinnamon
1lb onions, grated and kept in a colander to drain the liquids
2 tbs fresh ginger crushed
2 cups fresh green coriander sliced
8 crushed fresh green chillies (reduce for mild)
1 tbs salt
Method
- Place the mince in a large bowl, squeeze liquid out of onions and add to the mince.
- Add all other ingredients and mix well with hands, (use a fresh pair of rubber gloves if you have sensitive skin, as green chillies may sting!).
- Keep mixture aside for 30mins, put on thick iron skewers and bbq.
- Or make into burgers and place under a hot grill until brown, turn and cook other side.
Serve with naan, garlic bread, fusion salad and green chutney.

In order to make good soft kebabs that do not fall off the skewers it is extremely important to use mince with fat. Lean mince just doesnt work. You will need to mix in 250gm of fat into a kilo of lean mince. Or add 1 egg per 1lb of mince and add all other ingredients.
