Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground beef or been and lamb combined
  • 1 large Onion finely chopped
  • 2 large Garlic minced
  • 3 inch Fresh ginger grated
  • 2 med Green chilies finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)
  • ½ cup Cilantro chopped
  • ¼ cup Mint leaves chopped
  • 1 tbsp Gram flour Besan
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground coriander
  • ½ tsp Garam masala
  • ½ tsp Red chili powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice for serving
  • 2 tbsp oil for cooking
  • ¼ cup Mint chutney or yogurt sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Combine - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, green chilies, cilantro, mint leaves, gram flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
    1 lb Ground beef, 1 large Onion, 2 large Garlic, 3 inch Fresh ginger, 2 med Green chilies, ½ cup Cilantro, ¼ cup Mint leaves, 1 tbsp Gram flour, 1 tsp Ground cumin, 1 tsp Ground coriander, ½ tsp Garam masala, ½ tsp Red chili powder, ½ tsp Kosher salt, 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • Rest - Allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to blend and the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape the kebabs.
  • Shape - After the mixture has rested, take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat, elongated kebab. You can use your hands or skewers to shape the kebabs.
  • Grill - Heat oil in a pan or griddle over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the kebabs on the pan and cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through.
    2 tbsp oil
  • Rest - Remove the kebabs from the pan and place them on a serving platter. Squeeze some lemon juice over the kebabs for added freshness.
  • Serve the Indian beef kebabs hot with mint chutney or yogurt sauce on the side. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course with naan or rice.
    ¼ cup Mint chutney or yogurt sauce

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice levels according to your taste preferences by increasing or decreasing the amount of green chilies and red chili powder used in the recipe.
