I often browse online through the food section of the Times of India to see what new recipes are in there. I remember someone once looking for the kebab recipe from the Lahore restaurant in the East End and though I have never pinned that one down, this Kashmiri Kebab recipe from the ToI may be a close thing. I haven't cooked it myself yet and am away from home for a couple of week ends but I will definitely give this a go soon.
Kashmiri Seekh Kebab (serves 4)
Ingredients:
Boneless Lamb 1kg
Saffron 1gm
Turmeric powder 5gm
Kashmiri mirch powder 20gm
Aniseed powder 10gm
Black cumin 10gm
Green coriander 10gm

Eggs 2 nos.
Mustard oil 30ml
Garam masala 10gm
Salt to taste

- Cut mutton boneless into small pieces after washing it

One to try.
I assume the onions are minced too
-
Good question RD, I was assuming finely chopped.
The recipe looks good though with the black cumin, aniseed and mustard oil, right up my street.

Certainly going to try it. I get my lamb ( horse ) already minced so a quick wizz for the onion in the processor should do the job. That said I do have to get the mincer out when doing C2G kebabs as it also uses a percentage of minced chicken breast. Not convinced onion would go well through the mincer though. Only one way to find out. ;)

If your minced-lamb-from-the-butchers is only single-minced, I would be inclined to mince it a second time at home, and to feed the onion in with the lamb which will then act as a carrier.

I find it never needs a second mincing. By the time you get your hands in there and give it a good mixing squeeze then the consisency is just fine.

Mebbe your butcher can afford to replace his cutters more often than mine ! But I do find that once-minced lamb tends to fall apart when used in a kebab, whilst double-minced sticks very nicely together.

Never had that problem.

I tend to blitz any mince, lamb, beef, horse, in the food processor before using it for meatballs, koftas etc. it does make them smoother. I was once told to add some iced water to the final mix. Cannot remember for the life of me who gave this advice though.

Great recipe, i think the kashmiri mirchi powder has great flavor and color too which make it more tasty.

Yes, same instruction for making sausages- also use very chilled mince mixture. Makes the world of diference to its firmness.
