Ingredients
•
2 pounds lean ground lamb
•
2 medium onions, finely chopped
•
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
•
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
•
1 tablespoon ginger paste
•
1 tablespoon green chile paste
•
2 teaspoons ground cumin
•
2 teaspoons ground coriander
•
2 teaspoons paprika
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
8 skewers
•
1/4 cup vegetable oil for brushing, or as needed
Directions
1
Mix ground lamb, onions, mint, cilantro, ginger paste, and chile paste together in a large bowl. Season with cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Soak skewers in cold water.
2
Divide lamb mixture into 8 equal portions; mold portions onto skewers to form a sausage shape. Refrigerate skewers until you are ready to grill.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and brush the grate liberally with oil.
4
Cook skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until nicely browned on all sides and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
