This pan-fried kabab can be made with lamb or beef but tastes best when made with the former. Serve it with Mint-Coriander Chutney.

  • 2 tsps coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil or ghee to shallow fry

Preparation:

  • Boil all the ingredients together in water until the lentils are completely mashed and the mince is cooked. Dry all the water.
  • Grind the mix into a thick paste in your food processor.
  • Shape into patties.
  • Heat the cooking oil/ghee on a heavy-bottomed skillet and shallow fry the kababs till golden on both sides.
  • Cool on paper towels. Serve hot with Mint-Coriander Chutney.
