This recipe works wonderfully with minced chicken (kheema) or lamb. Adjust cooking time accordingly as chicken cooks faster.
For added texture, you can mix in finely chopped bell peppers or grated carrots. Ensure you squeeze out any excess moisture from the vegetables.
Create a vegetarian version by replacing mutton with crumbled paneer, mashed potatoes, or soya granules. You may need to adjust the binding agent (besan).
For a spicier kebab, increase the amount of green chillies or add a pinch of black pepper powder to the mixture.
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the mutton, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps in preventing anemia and boosting energy levels.
The blend of spices like cumin, coriander, and chilli powder not only adds flavor but can also help in boosting metabolism and aiding digestion.
This usually happens due to excess moisture in the mixture, often from the onions. Ensure you squeeze the chopped onions thoroughly. Also, the mixture might not have enough binding agent (roasted besan) or wasn't rested long enough in the refrigerator to firm up.
Yes, you can. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the skewered kebabs on a baking tray lined with foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through and basting with ghee, until cooked and browned.
A single serving of 3 kebabs contains approximately 300-350 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of ghee used for cooking.
They can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. Mutton is an excellent source of protein and iron. Grilling is a healthier cooking method than frying. However, they are relatively high in saturated fat, so portion control is key.
Dhungar is a traditional Indian technique of infusing food with a smoky flavor using hot charcoal and ghee. While it's optional, it is highly recommended for this recipe as it imparts an authentic, restaurant-style smoky aroma that is characteristic of Marwari cuisine.
Store cooked kebabs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in a pan, microwave, or oven until hot.
