Eid recipes

Ingredients

Ingredients Qty
Boneless Mutton 500 g
Channa Dal 1 cup
Turmeric Powder 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic 10 cloves
Ginger 2-inch piece
Green chillies (finely chopped) 3 nos
Pecans 1/4

Method

  • To begin making the Mutton Shami Kebab recipe, wash and soak chana dal for minimum 1-2 hours.
  • Wash mutton pieces nicely and pressure cook it with soaked chana dal, turmeric powder, salt ginger, garlic and whole spices.
  • Once the mutton is done, pass it through a colander and collect the stock in a separate bowl which you can use later to make any mutton curry.
  • Collect the cooled mutton and dal mix in a grinder jar and grind to make a fine dough. The dough may look fibrous because of the meat.
  • Add finely chopped onion, chopped green chillies, chopped mint, and coriander, and mix nicely till everything incorporates well.
  • Heat a wide pan and grease it with 1-2 tablespoon oil.
  • Pinch a lemon sized ball from the mutton mix and flatten it to shape a round disk.
  • Similarly, make the rest of the kebabs and shallow fry from both sides in a wide pan till they turn dark brown in colour.
  • Mutton Shami Kebabs are a perfect snack option during Ramadan and also a great side dish with Chicken Biryani. Serve with onion rings, lemon, and dhaniya pudina chutney.
