Kashmiri Yakhni Kebab

Kashmiri Yakhni Kebab is a succulent and aromatic dish featuring marinated minced meat, skewered and grilled to perfection. This authentic Indian BBQ delight is infused with traditional spices, offering a unique taste of Kashmiri cuisine.

Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Kashmiri red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Mint leaves - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Skewers - 4-6 (soaked in water if using wooden skewers)
• Oil - for brushing

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, garam masala, Kashmiri red chili powder, cumin powder, salt, cilantro, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Cover the mixture and marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Take the marinated meat mixture and shape it around the skewers, pressing firmly to create evenly shaped kebabs.
5. Brush the kebabs lightly with oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are browned and cooked through.
6. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
