Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, mint, and cilantro.

  2. Step 2

    Add besan flour, minced onion, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, black pepper, and salt.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to help it bind and become easier to shape.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  7. Step 7

    Carefully place kebabs in the skillet without overcrowding; fry in batches if needed.

  8. Step 8

    Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, turning gently only once to maintain shape.

  9. Step 9

    Transfer cooked kebabs to a paper towel-lined plate. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve hot.
