Ingredients
6 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp cumin seeds
3 bay leaf, whole
6 tbsp wheat flour or gram flour (atta or besan)
1 large onion, finely diced
2 medium tomatoes, all the seeds and insides
removed, finely diced
8 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, minced
4 chopped green chillies
3 tbsp dried pomegranate seeds (anardana)
2 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp black pepper (ideally coarsely ground)
0.5 tsp turmeric
0.25 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
3 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tbsp dried fenugreek (kasoori methi) OR 2 tbsp fresh fenugreek, chopped
1 handful of coriander, chopped
2 eggs
1kg minced meat (see notes for more information about what kind of meat)
Oil or beef tallow, for frying
Instructions
1. Gently preheat a dry pan over a medium to
high heat, then add the coriander seeds, cumin
seeds and bay leaf. Stir this gently in the pan,
allowing the seeds to toast. Once the spices
become fragrant and toasted, remove from the
heat and grind coarsely in a coffee grinder or
pestle and mortar. Ideally, you want to the
spices to keep some texture. Set aside in a
large mixing bowl
2. In the same pan, add the wheat flour/gram
flour and toast this too, stirring constantly,
until it too become fragrant and the colour
darkens slightly. Remove from the heat and
add to the large mixing bowl
3. Add in all the ingredients to the large mixing
bowl except for the minced meat and oil. Mix
everything together well.
4. Add the minced meat to the mixing bowl.
Incorporate everything together well - you
may find your hands do a better job of this
than a spoon.
5. Form the minced meat mixture into large
patties. See the post for tips on how to form
these.
6. When ready to fry, heat up enough oil in a
frying pan to form a small layer. Add the
kababs and fry them over a medium heat,
flipping after 6-8 minutes.
Your kababs are ready! Serve alongside some
naan, a salad and chutney!
