Kabab Curry Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix ground lamb, onions, mint, cilantro, ginger paste, and chile paste. Season with cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Mold handfuls of the lamb mixture, about 1 cup, to form sausages around skewers. Make sure the meat is spread to an even thickness. Refrigerate until you are ready to grill.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Brush grate liberally with oil, and arrange kabobs on grill. Cook for 10 minutes, or until well done, turning as needed to brown evenly.

Steps:

• Wash meat and squeeze out all water (it should be dry).
• Add all ingredients for kababs, and form into 10-12 kababs (squeezing out water if any, don't throw away this water,use it in the gravy) Keep aside.
• FOR THE GRAVY:.
• Heat fat in a pan, add whole masalas, when they splutter, add onion , saute till golden brown.
• Grind tomatoes with dahi, add to sauted onions, add ginger,garlic paste, red chilly paste, tomato puree and turmeric ,braise it for 5 minutes.
• Put 2 cups of water, when it starts boiling,lower the kababs carefully in it ,reduce heat and simmer till gravy thick and kababs done(dont stir, coz the kababs will break).
• Check salt, add garam masala powder, garnish with corriander leaves.

Steps:

• Day 1:.
• Measure beer without a head.
• Mix with remaining ingredients, excepting meat and vegetables.
• Pour marinade over beef in sealable container.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Day 2:.
• If you wish, the vegetables can all be prepped the day before and kept in the refrigerator until it's time to assemble to kebabs.
• Bring large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add halved peppers. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the red peppers begin to lose their skins. Plunge in cold water to stop the cooking. Remove when cool, drain well and cut into 3 pieces for each half pepper. Remove skin from 14 red pepper pieces. Set all aside.
• Dump meat and marinade into a colander over a saucepan. Rinse lightly to remove chunks of marinade. Remove meat and pat dry. Set aside.
• To the marinade add sauce ingredients (except for beer): oil, curry, pureed onion, garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes. You may skim if you wish, I usually don't. Reduce heat and add the beer. Stir well and simmer until reduced to the point where the sauce will stick to the meat and vegetables while cooking.
• Preheat grill to 300 degrees.
• Assemble kebabs in whatever order you wish. I do a piece of red pepper with skin, onion, meat, tomato, onion meat, etc and end up with a piece of tomato, skin out.
• (Putting the pepper and tomato on the ends of the kebabs helps to hold the whole thing together on the grill.).
• Place loaded skewers on preheated grill, turn every 10 minutes or so, brushing frequently with the sauce.
• When the meat is firm and the tomatoes are soft and starting to blacken, give the kebabs a good brushing with the sauce and turn the heat to high for a short period of time. This will finish the caramelizing of the glaze and the veggies will be lovely, done through and slightly crispy on the outside.
• Remove from grill, serve with anything you want.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the seekh kebabs in a bowl and mix well, split the mince into 14 balls.
• Take each ball, place a skewer through the centre and shape the mince into a sausage shape around it. Dab a little water onto palms to stop mince from sticking to palms
• Heat 2tbsp of oil in a frying pan and cook the seekh kebabs on medium heat, turning frequently so they cook evenly. The kebabs should be light -medium brown when cooked
• Remove from pan and set aside on plate with kitchen paper
• For the curry sauce, heat oil, add onions and garlic, cook on high heat for 10 minutes
• Add all other ingredients and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, making sure any moisture from the tomatoes has evaporated.
• Remove skewers from seekh kebabs by twisting the skewer both ways and then pulling
• Add the kebabs to curry sauce, mix carefully , garnish with coriander. Place lid on pan and turn off heat
• Serve with mint yoghurt, salad and chapatti
