Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, grated onion, chickpea flour, egg, and ginger garlic paste until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add all seasoning ingredients: ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix vigorously until the mixture becomes sticky and cohesive.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to marinate, allowing the flavors to blend and the texture to firm up.

  4. 4

    With moistened hands, shape the meat mixture into small palm-sized patties, pressing gently for even thickness.

  5. 5

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for 4–5 minutes on each side, turning carefully, until a deep brown crust forms and the inside is fully cooked but still juicy. Rest for 2 minutes off heat before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient that gives Tunday Kebab its signature character?
The core ingredient is ground lamb, which brings the kebab its succulent, rich flavor and authentic texture. The combination of lamb with aromatic spices like garam masala, cumin, and coriander is essential for the classic Tunday Kebab experience.
Q. How do you get the perfect juicy, melt-in-your-mouth texture in this recipe?
To achieve the melt-in-your-mouth texture, it's important to thoroughly mix the meat with the egg and chickpea flour, then chill the mixture for at least half an hour. Cooking over medium heat prevents drying and ensures a moist, tender kebab.
Q. What's the best cooking temperature and method to avoid overcooking Tunday Kebab?
Medium heat is key when pan-frying or grilling. Too high heat can quickly dry out the kebabs, while gentle, even heat lets the patties brown and stay juicy. Each side should be cooked for about 4–5 minutes without pressing them flat.
