For Cooking:
- Ghee or oil for shallow frying
- Skewers for grilling (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced lamb meat with raw papaya paste, ginger-garlic paste, gram flour, and all the ground spices.
- Add fried onions, clarified butter (ghee), and salt to the mixture.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring that the meat is evenly coated with the spices and other ingredients.
- Cover the bowl and let the meat mixture marinate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. Marination helps in enhancing the flavors and tenderizing the meat.
- Shape the Kebabs:
- Once the marination is complete, take out the meat mixture from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Divide the mixture into small lemon-sized portions and shape them into round patties or flat discs using your hands. Ensure that the kebabs are compact and free of any cracks.
- If using skewers, you can also thread the meat mixture onto skewers to form kebabs.
- Cooking the Kebabs:
- Heat ghee or oil in a non-stick pan or a grilling pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the shaped kebabs in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Shallow fry the kebabs on both sides until they are golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, you can grill the kebabs for a smoky flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the pan and place them on a serving platter lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve Hot:
- Garnish the Galouti Kebabs with freshly chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves.
- Serve the kebabs hot with mint chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges on the side.
- Enjoy the succulent and flavorful Galouti Kebabs as an appetizer or a main course dish, accompanied by naan bread or roomali roti.
