Minced [Ground] Lamb kebabs (Kabab Massalam) recipe
information
These spicy cigar-shaped kebabs are popular all over India. The thick wooden skewers traditionally used for kebabs in India should be used in this dish—the mixture adheres to it better than it would to a metal skewer. Serve on a bed of rice, or over bread as in the picture overleaf and a selection of chutneys.

method
1. Combine all the ingredients, except the melted butter and lemons, in a large bowl. Using your hands, lightly knead until the ingredients are blended and the mixture is stiff. Cover and set aside to 'rest' for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the grill (broiler) to high. Lightly grease 12 skewers with a little of the melted butter. With dampened hands, remove small pieces of the meat mixture and shape them into cigar shapes around the skewers, two to a skewer.
3. Lay the skewers on the lined grill (broiler) pan and brush them with about half the remaining melted butter. Grill (broil) the kebabs for 5 minutes. Turn, then brush with the remaining melted butter and grill (broil) for a further 5 minutes, or until the kebabs are cooked through.
4. Arrange the skewers on a warmed serving dish and garnish with the lemon quarters. Serve at once.
