Galouti Kebabs
Ingredients:
• Lamb cut, finely minced – ½ kg
• Raw Papaya paste – about 2 tbspn
• Garam Masala - ½ tspn
• Cinnamon Powder - ¼ tspn
• Onion Paste (fried) - ¼ cup
• Mace powder - ¼ tspn
• Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tspn
• Chili Powder - 2 tspn
• Chopped coriander - 1 tspn
• Roasted gram flour - 2 tbspn
• Ghee - 100 ml
• Saffron water - ½ tspn
• Salt to taste
Procedure
1. In a large bowl, mix minced mutton, raw papaya paste, ½ tsp garam masala, ¼ tsp cinnamon powder, ¼ tsp mace powder, ¼ cup of fried onion paste, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, 2 tsp chilli powder, finely chopped coriander, 2 tbsp roasted gram flour, 100 ml ghee, ½ tsp saffron water and salt to taste.
2. Place the mince towards the outer side of container to create an empty space in the centre. Now, gently place a small bowl with live coal, 3-4 cloves and pour a drop of ghee. You’ll see a smoky flame erupt. Quickly cover the bowl with a lid for 5 minutes.
3. Now let’s remove the lid and keep aside the small bowl with coal. The smoky aroma has been infused into the mixture. Mix the mince well once again. Make into a size of tennis balls. Flatten them into patties and keep aside.
4. Heat a griddle on medium heat, sprinkle some ghee. Place the flattened patties and cook slowly on both sides giving a nice golden colour on both sides. And voila! Serve these hot and sizzling kebabs with sheermal.
