Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mince
Take the mutton mince in a large mixing bowl.
Add raw papaya paste (this helps make the kebabs tender).
Add all the spices, fried onion paste, roasted gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and yogurt.
Mix everything well and let it marinate for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight for best results).

Step 2: Make the Kebabs

Take the marinated mince and mix it again to ensure even flavoring.

Add chopped green chilies and coriander leaves for extra aroma.

Take small portions and shape them into round patties (flatten them slightly).

Step 3: Cooking the Kebabs

Pan-Frying Method (Authentic Taste)

Heat ghee in a flat pan (Tava).

Place the kebabs gently on the pan and cook on medium-low heat.

Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, flipping gently until golden brown and fully cooked.

Tandoor or Oven Method

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

Place kebabs on a greased baking tray and bake for 10–15 minutes, flipping once.

Brush with ghee for extra richness.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Serve hot with roomali roti, mint chutney, and onion rings.

Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and coriander leaves.

Pair with a glass of chilled lassi or masala chai for an authentic Lucknowi experience!
