Hi Everyone.
Here's my Sheek kebabs I spoilt the Mrs and let her taste them for supper she said they were just like our BIR  ;D

I know I forgot the lemon she can't have it all.....anyway try this recipe and let me know what you think.

1 lb lean lamb mince
1 teaspoon garlic puree
1 teaspoon ginger puree
1 egg
1 Tbsp pataks Madras Paste
1Tsp Turmeric
? Tsp Chili Powder
1Tsp Garam Massala
1Tsp Curry Powder
1Tsp Jared Mint
Handful fresh Coriander
Red Food Colouring optional

I found this recipe to be spot on I have attempted making Sheek Kebabs many times and believe me this recipe is excellent by the way the Garam Massala is out of the KD book I have found this mix to be very good.

Garam Masala
1Tbsp Coriander Seeds
1Tbsp Cummin Seeds
1Tsp Green Cardamoms
4 Black Cardamoms
1 Tsp Black Peppercorns
1 Cassia Bark
2 Bay Leaves
1Tsp Cloves
? Nutmeg

Good Luck
Layne

Excellent work,

I might try these, could you just use beef mince instead do you think or would that not work?

Hi Stew
Yes certainly why not try it with mince beef your using all the spices so it's gonna have that spicy taste and if it's no good so what ?

Mince Beef doesn't cost a lot in fact it's cheaper than lamb and easier to get hold of go for it stew let me know how you get on.

Hi Layne,

Thanks for the recipe and photograph. Can you tell us how you made the yellow sauce? I was in Brick Lane the other day and had something similar it was new for me as you don't see it in Glasgow.

By the way I have substituted successfully Turkey meat for friends who don't like red meat. I just minced it in the food mixer and it worked really well.

More on Brick lane later.

Cheers

Hi Panpot
Its just the basic mint sauce with the addition of yellow food colouring this is the recipe=
