Cumin Coriander Beef Patties Kebabs Food

CUMIN-SCENTED BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Stir together oil, oregano, garlic, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then toss with beef. Marinate, chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Thread about 4 pieces of beef onto each skewer, leaving small spaces between pieces, then transfer to a tray.
• Oil grill rack, then grill beef, covered only if using a gas grill, turning, until browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes.

CUMIN CORIANDER BEEF PATTIES (KEBABS)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the meat, ginger (optional), onion, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, yogurt and vinegar. Mix well with your hands, mashing and kneading to blend the flavors and get a smooth texture.
• Mix in the coriander leaves or mint leaves.
• With wet hands shape and firmly press the meat into eight ovals or rounds 3/4-inch thick.
• You can then grill the patties on a lightly oiled rack under medium heat, turning after 5 minute and continuing to cook until done. You can also broil them 5 to 7 inches from heating element turning them occasionally and cooking for about 8 minute or pan fry them 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

CUMIN BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in bowl. Season generously with pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (high heat) or preheat broiler. Thread beef onto 8 skewers, threading 2 tomatoes and 2 onion pieces onto each. Grill or broil until beef is tender, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes for medium rare.

GRILLED LAMB KEBABS WITH CORIANDER AND CUMIN

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Whisk first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add lamb; toss to coat evenly. Let stand 5 minutes. Thread lamb on skewers, leaving 1/2-inch space between each piece.
• Grill or broil lamb until crusty brown outside but still pink inside, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes. Arrange skewers on plates and serve.

CHAPPAL KEBAB

Steps:

• Toast the cumin and coriander in a dry skillet until they start to pop, but take care not to burn them.
• Put all ingredients into a big bowl and work it together with your hands, as if you were making a meatloaf. Once it has formed a workable mass, knead it for a few minutes to make the meat smoother.
• Press into small patties, as thin as you can possibly make them. Mine are about five inches across when they're raw, but shrink a lot during cooking. I find pressing between two sheets of cling film (Saran Wrap or similar) helps me get a really fine patty in one piece.
• Fry in a hot skillet in the vegetable oil until browned on both sides.
