Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the meat mixture for a few hours or overnight before shaping into kebabs.
• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the meat to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• To achieve a nice char on the kebabs, brush them with a little oil before grilling.
• You can also cook the kebabs on a preheated grill pan or under the broiler if you don't have access to an outdoor grill.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the kebabs in a preheated oven or microwave until heated through.
• Serve the reheated kebabs with fresh saffron rice and yogurt sauce for a delicious leftover meal.
