Amma's Savory Kebabs
My mother in law serves this dish as an appetizer or as one of her main dishes. I love to eat it with my favorite hot mango relish and yogurt sauce.
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground lamb, chop meat turkey or chicken
1 large onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger
pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 cup of plain bread crumbs
1 large egg
skewers **Note soak them in water before adding the meat so they don't catch fire while grilling
Directions:
In a food processor pulse garlic, ginger, onion and cilantro to a mushy paste.
Add the meat to a bowl with the spices, mushy paste, bread crumbs and the egg and mix well.
Divide the meat into egg-sized lumps.
Press them firmly around skewers and form into thin sausage like shapes.
Cook over a hot greased charcoal grill or under broiler in a greased pan-400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until done, turning over once.
**Note-You may cook the kebabs on a greased cookie sheet without the skewers and bake them for about 20-30 min for oval meatball sized kababs turning them once.
**Be sure not to overcook them-they get dry easily- cook according to how big the kababs are -the bigger they are -the more time is needed the smaller they are- the less time is needed.
Serve naan bread, rice, chutney, podina masala and yogurt sauce.
Garnish with cilantro, cucumber and tomatoes.
