Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and chicken with the grated onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, green chilies, cilantro, mint leaves, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, then add the almond flour and beaten egg to the mixture. Mix again until the mixture is cohesive.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
- Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grill grates with cooking oil.
- Shape the marinated meat mixture into elongated kebabs, about 10-12 cm long, and place them on the grill.
