The most popular kebabs around the world is definitelyTurkish kebab. There are a lot ofdifferent types of Turkish kebabs are there. Inspired by the Turkish kebabs, today I made grilled mutton kebab. I used fresh minced mutton along with fats, some middle eastern spices and sumac to make these delicious kebabs. I give the name kofta kebabs as generally kebabs made at home are called kofta kebabs.

Steps

15 min/batch

1

Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from water when you are ready to begin.
2

Toast a piece of sliced bread and soak in water for until it becomes tender. I used 3 small pieces.
3

In a food processor or mincer, add in roughly chopped onion, garlic, green chillies and coriander leaves or parsley. Mince them well.
4

Add the minced mutton, bread (be sure to squeeze out the water completely), and the spices. Run the processor until all is well combined forming a sticky homogeneous mixture.
5

Cover and keep aside for 1/2 an hour so that all the flavours well incorporated to the meat.
6

Line a big dish with cling film and make ready the skewers. I also used some iron skewers along with wooden skewers.
7

Remove the meat mixture from the food processor after resting time and place in a large bowl. Take a handful portion of the meat mixture and mould it on a skewer.
8

Repeat the process. For best results, make sure each kofta kebab is about 1 inch in thickness.
9

Place the kofta kebabs on the lightly oiled, heated grill pan. Grill on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on one side, turn over and grill for another 3-4 minutes. You can also grill them in the preheated oven. I don’t have grill option in my oven so used a grill pan.
10

Serve the kofta kebabs immediately with your favourite bread, tahini/hummus and some cucumber, tomatoes, onions and coriander or parsley.
