Shikampuri Kebab

🇮🇳 Indian

Hyderabadi shikampuri, stuffed kebabs with a yogurt heart. Marinated deep and grilled hard; kebabs are patience rewarded. Classic plate: kebabs, laccha pyaaz, mint chutney, naan.

Prep 38 min Cook 25 min Serves 3 Medium

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Green Chili2

  • Lemon1
  • Ground Lamb500 g

Optional extras

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the ground lamb with the yogurt and seasonings; cover and let the fridge do the tenderising.

    Prepare the skewers and the grill or oven — high heat, clean grates.

  3. 3

    Take the skewers out of the fridge 30 minutes ahead — even cooking starts here.

    Grill till the edges catch and blacken slightly — that char is the flavour.

    Slide off the skewers onto the onion, hit it with lemon, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
