Mince Kebabs

Who doesn't love kebabs?....

If you dont like it....you really dont know what you are missing.

Shop bought kebabs is never good enough, its either too spicy or tasteless....so, I make my own...always!

Here's a recipe of mine, everyone will enjoy:

Ingredients

500g - Ground Mince (Beef/Lamb/Chicken)
1T - vegetable oil
1/2 t - Ground Cumin
1/4 - Onion, finely chopped
1 T - crushed garlic
1/2 t - crushed ginger
1/4 t - tumeric powder
1t - crushed chilli
1 t - freshly chopped coriander
1t  - cayenne pepper
1t - garam masala
Freshly ground pepper
Sea Salt

Miss all your ingredients properly in a bowl and form into little balls. If you like a little more spice in your food, add in 1 teaspoon of chilli powder. Fry the meatballs/kebabs in 2 Tablespoons of oil, on medium heat until golden brown on all sides.

Once done, you can have them with some dipping sauce, perfect for a game night.

I usually add them into a tomato chutney:

1 tin - tomatoes and onion mix
1 fresh chilli
curry leaf
1/2 t - sugar
salt
1/2 t - cumin seeds
1t - crushed garlic
1t - chilli powder

Using the same oil after frying your kebabs, add your cumin seeds, tomato and onion mix, chilli and curry leaf. Let this cook for about 10 minutes. Add your chilli powder and alow to cook further. Add in your sugar, garlic and salt and let it simmer. You can now add in your meatballs. Leave on the heat on low for a further 10 minutes allowing all those flavours from the chutneys get into the kebabs.

Serve with rice or Roti.
