Kashmiri Seekh Kebabs

Serves 6

Ingredients: 1 kg minced lamb, 1 medium onion, finely chopped, 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed to a paste with 1 tsp salt, 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and very finely chopped, a handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped, a handful of coriander leaves, chopped, 2 fresh red chillies finely chopped, 2 tbs plain yogurt, juice of half a lemon, 2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground fenugreek, 1 tsp salt

Method: Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands. Wet your hands lightly and pinch off walnut sized pieces of the mixture to roll into balls. Thread these onto metal skewers, squeezing them together along the length of the skewer, to form a long sausage. There will be 6-10 of these depending on the size of the skewers. Grill the kebabs over (or under) a medium to high flame, for 10-15 minutes, or until the kebabs are well browned, turning them for even cooking
