KOFTA KEBABS

Forget the rice and mashed potatoes. Naan bread is always going to be a perfect starch for these kebabs.

Recipe

250 grams of ground beef/lamb

1 small onion, finely grated (sieve out all the onion juices)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Season with salt and pepper to your preference

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Cayenne powder(optional)

Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if using)

Instructions

1. Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Add your ground beef or lamb, and then toss in

the finely grated onion and minced garlic.

2. Next, sprinkle in the chopped cilantro, followed by the spices: cumin, coriander,

cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and cayenne powder.

3.Mix everything together with your hands or a spoon until well combined.

4. With wet or greasy hands, take one portion and mold it around a skewer, forming a

long, cylindrical shape.

5. Press firmly to ensure the meat sticks to the skewers.

Repeat this process for the remaining portions. If you find the mixture sticking to your

hands, just wet them again.

6. Preheat the Grill or oven, and bake for 15minutes then flip them and bake for 7 more

minutes.

(For a smoky flavor, bast them with barbecue sauce)
