Ingredients:
For the Kebabs
500 gms minced lamb
1 egg
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
2-3 green chillies (chopped)
Handful of fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
For the Cous-Cous

1 green chillies (chopped)
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp orange zest
Handful of fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
Salt

Method:
For Kebabs, mix all the ingredients together and make small balls out of it. Leave it to rest for some time and get on with the cous-cous. Add salt to the boiling water mix well and pour it on the cous-cous and leave it to absorb all the water.
Meanwhile put the meat balls in to the skewers and place it under the grill for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and turn them occasionally. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chillies and onion. When the onions are soft add the chickpeas and keep frying for another five minutes or so. Now add the couscous in to the pan and give it a good stir.

ReplyDeleteThank you all. Really appreciate your comments.
ReplyDeleteso other than garam masala, no kebab masala?? can I do this with minced chicken??
ReplyDelete@ bollywoodstylediaries Thanks for dropping by. No, I didn't use any other masala as lamb meat itself is quite flavoursome. Yes, you can use minced chicken.
