Shami Kebab Aur Dhania

🇮🇳 Indian

Shami kebabs with chana-dal binding, the tea-time kebab of UP homes. The smell alone sells the dish. Classic plate: kebabs, laccha pyaaz, mint chutney, naan.

Prep 31 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Chickpeas1 cup, soaked overnight
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Fresh Cilantro1/2 cup, chopped
  • Lemon1
  • Ground Lamb500 g

Optional extras

  • Chaat Masala1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the ground lamb with the chickpeas, ginger garlic paste, spices and lemon; refrigerate at least two hours, overnight is better.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Bring the meat to room temperature while the grill heats; cold centres cook unevenly.

  4. 4

    Cook over strong heat, turning four times, till charred in patches and just cooked through.

  5. 5

    Rest five minutes, squeeze fresh lemon over, shower with chaat masala and serve with sliced onions and green chutney.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
