For the best flavor, use ground chuck with a good fat content. The fat renders during cooking, adding richness and moisture to the kebabs. Don't overmix the meat mixture, as this can result in tough kebabs. Gently combine the ingredients until just incorporated. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. For a milder flavor, reduce or omit it altogether. For a smoky flavor, try grilling the kebabs over medium heat instead of frying. Serve these kebabs in warm pita bread with pickled red onions and a cooling yogurt-mint raita for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Egg Binder: Lightly coat a small skillet with cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, scramble the beaten egg until just set. (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
02
StepCombine and Marinate: In a large bowl, gently combine the scrambled egg, ground beef, chopped red onion, chopped tomato, cilantro, mint, ginger-garlic paste, crushed coriander seeds, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly by hand, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes minimum)
03
StepShape and Garnish: Gently form the mixture into patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Press a tomato slice into the center of each patty, ensuring it adheres well.
04
StepFry to Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the patties in the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-6 minutes per side, until deeply charred and cooked through. (4-6 minutes per side).
05
StepServe: Remove the cooked kebabs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot, with your favorite accompaniments.

Mar 28, 2025The kebabs turned out a bit dry. Next time, I'll try adding a tablespoon of yogurt to the mixture to keep them moist.
