Seekh Kebab (Minced Meat Kebabs)

Instructions

1. Using a pestle and mortar or small blender, blitz the garlic and ginger with a little water to form a paste.
2. In a large bowl add the mince, garlic and ginger paste, all the spices and salt.
3. Get stuck in with your hands, squeezing all the ingredients through your fingers and kneading it together almost like a ball of dough. Do this for 3-4 minutes so that everything is really well combined. This kneading of the meat will also help it stay together when cooking.
4. Take small balls of the mixture and mould it into a sausage shape (you want to try and compress it quite tightly together). Lay them directly on a grill pan, ready for cooking. You should be able to get about 12 small kebabs (or 6 large kebabs) out of the mixture.
5. Cook the kebabs under a hot grill for 15-20 minutes, turning half-way through cooking.
