Step 1
In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, mint, and cilantro.
Step 2
Add besan flour, minced onion, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add to the mixture. Mix everything gently with your hands until well combined and sticky.
Step 4
Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to help it bind and become easier to shape.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and gently shape into oval patties about 0.5 inch thick, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully place kebabs in the skillet without overcrowding; fry in batches if needed.
Step 8
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, turning gently only once to maintain shape.
Step 9
Transfer cooked kebabs to a paper towel-lined plate. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve hot.
