Instructions to make mutton kebab:

Step-by-Step Guide to Seekh Kebab Heaven

1.
Prepare the Mixture – Setting the Stage
To create the perfect mutton seekh kebab, start by combining minced mutton with finely chopped onions, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste, fresh coriander leaves, and mint leaves in a large mixing bowl. Add besan, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, forming the base for your gosht seekh kebab.

2.
Marinate – Let the Flavours Mingle
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This crucial step allows the flavours to meld and the meat to firm up, giving you that authentic Hyderabadi seekh kabab taste that we’ve all come to love!

3.
Shape the Kebabs – The Art of Kebabbing
This is your time to channel your inner kebab artist! Take a handful of the marinated mixture and shape it around skewers to form long, cylindrical kebabs. Ensure the kebabs are evenly thick to cook uniformly. 

4.
Grill the Kebabs – Sizzle and Smoke

Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F). Brush the kebabs with oil to prevent sticking and enhance the flavour. Place the skewers on the grill or in the oven. Cook the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through, just like traditional Indian mutton kabab.

5.
Garnish and Serve – The Grand Finale
Remove the kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges and onion rings for a burst of freshness and color. Serve hot with mint chutney or your favourite dip, transforming your meal into a delightful mutton seekh experience.

Serving Suggestions: Elevate Your Seekh Kebab Game
Mutton Seekh Kebabs are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many different ways. Here are some fun and delicious serving ideas to elevate your mutton seekh kebab experience:

1. Naan or Paratha: Serve the kebabs with warm naan or paratha for a complete meal. The soft, fluffy bread complements the spicy, juicy kebabs perfectly, making every bite a delight.
2. Pita Bread: For a Mediterranean twist, serve with pita bread and a side of hummus. The creamy hummus adds a wonderful texture contrast to the kebabs, and the pita bread acts as the perfect vessel to hold all the flavours together.
3. Salad: Pair with a fresh salad for a lighter option. A simple cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad dressed with lemon juice and olive oil can add a refreshing crunch that balances the richness of the kebabs.
4. Wrap: Roll the kebabs in a tortilla or naan with some fresh veggies and sauce for an on-the-go meal. Add some shredded lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and a drizzle of yoghurt sauce for a delicious and portable lunch option.

   

5. Rice: Serve with fragrant basmati rice or a flavourful biryani. The aromatic rice pairs beautifully with the spiced kebabs, creating a hearty and satisfying meal.
6. Raita: Accompany your kebabs with a cooling cucumber or mint raita. This yoghurt-based side dish helps to mellow the heat of the kebabs and adds a refreshing element to your plate.
7. Platter: Create a kebab platter with assorted dips, breads, and salads. This is perfect for entertaining and allows your guests to mix and match flavours as they like.
8. Sliders: Use small buns to create seekh kebab sliders. Top the kebabs with some caramelized onions, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of garlic mayo for a fun twist.
9. Tacos: For a fusion twist, serve the kebabs in soft taco shells with some salsa, guacamole, and shredded cheese. It’s a fun and unexpected way to enjoy your kebabs.
