Instructions
Making kabab Mixture:
In a food processor, add cilantro, mint leaves, onion, garlic, red and green chilies. Process until they are finely chopped.
Wear a glove and squeeze all the liquid out of the chopped mix. You can also use a nutmilk bag or a cheese cloth to do this. Discard the liquid.
In a bowl, add the chopped mixture and all the remaining ingredients except oil and cheese. Mix or knead to make a uniform kebab mixture.
Add cheese at the end and mix until fully combined.
Shaping The Kababs:
To divide the mixture into equal portions, use an icecream scooper or a tablespoon. Place each scoop of mixture on a plate.
Put the plate in the freezer for 15 mins and then take it out for shaping
Pour 3 to 4 tablespoon oil in a cup and use some to grease the palm of your hands.
Take a portion of mixture and use the palm of your hands to roll it into a rough shape.
Insert a thick skewer (or straw or wooden bbq stick) through one tip of the kabab and bring out on the other side.
Use the palm of your hands to perfect the shape of the kabab.
Carefully remove the kabab from the skewer by sliding the skewer out and placing the kabab back on the tray.
IF you want to cook the kababs with the skewers then leave the skewers intact.
Cook The Kababs:
For pan frying, place a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat on the stove. You can also use a grill pan.
Add oil to cover the base of the skillet.
When oil becomes hot (3 to 4 mins), add kababs to the pan without overcrowding it.
Use a straight spatula or tongs to turn the kababs frequently, allowing all sides to turn golden brown evenly.
Cook for a total of 5 mins. Transfer kababs to your serving dish once they are done.
