Seekh Kebabs

These are similar to Afghani-style lamb kebabs... juicy, spicy, and delicious.  Goes well with mint chutney.
  • 400 g Ground Lamb
  • 10 g Ginger Paste
  • 10 g Garlic Paste
  • 2 x Green Chilies, finely minced
  • 1/2 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 5 g Garam Masala
  • 5 g Cinnamon Powder
  • 5 g Clove Powder
  • 1/4 bunch Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 sprig Mint Leaves, chopped
  • 1 x large Egg
  • Salt and Pepper
1)  Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and work it until the ground meat is fine and pasty.
2)  Wet your hands (or a measuring scoop), pick up some meat and roll into a log (4" to 5" long, 1/2" diameter).  Skewer the meat, and grill, turning onto all 4 sides as they cook.  They will be firm to the touch when cooked through.
3)  Optionally, finish with some chaat masala and lemon juice.
