This is the classic BIR restaurant of sheek kebabs. Despite the name, they’re usually made with mutton (as you will notice from the slightly gamier flavour if you’ve ever had them) but if making at home you can substitute lamb or goat, depending on personal preference. They’re traditionally cooked in a tandoor, but a kettle barbecue (or other lidded barbecue) also works great as you have charcoal heat that’s directed to all sides. At a pinch you can cook under a grill (broiler).
Method:
Mix all the ingredients into a bowl, knead all the ingredients together similar to bread dough until thoroughly mixed
Place in a fridge overnight to allow the mixture to get as cold as possible and the spices to marinate the meat. Having the meat cold is also key to the mixture going stiff and allowing you to form the kababs. More chilli can be added if you prefer hotter versions also the use of fresh finely chopped chilli can add to the taste.
Divided the mixture into 8 which should be slightly larger than a golf ball size. These balls are then squeezed onto a skewer, keep your hands wet while doing this and it helps prevent the fat from sticking to your hands.
Place under a grill on 200c turning every 2 minutes (or a BBQ)
Serve with a slice of lemon and coriander for garnish.
Mint sauce is also a perfect dip for this starter.
In BIR style restaurants kebabs are typically served accompanied by spicy dipping sauces such as Indian chilli dipping sauce or Tamarind-chilli dipping sauce.
