Instructions
How to Make Galouti Kebab
Step 1: Marinate the Meat
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey with the chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, ground cardamom, ground cloves, salt, fresh coriander leaves, and fresh mint leaves.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Step 2: Prepare the Kebab Mixture
- After marinating, remove the meat mixture from the refrigerator.
- Add besan (gram flour) to the mixture. This helps bind the kebabs and absorb excess moisture.
- Mix everything together until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Step 3: Shape the Kebabs
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small patties or cylinders.
- You can wet your hands with a little water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Step 4: Cook the Kebabs
- Option 1: Grilling - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.
- Option 2: Baking - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the kebabs on a lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
- Once the kebabs are cooked, remove them from the grill or oven.
- Serve the guilt-free Galouti kebabs hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney, such as mint yogurt sauce or tamarind chutney.
- Garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves and mint leaves if desired.
