North Indian-Style Bihari Kabab Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, mix together yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, papaya paste, lemon juice, and salt.
• STEP 2.Add the meat pieces to the marinade and mix well. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• STEP 3.Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated meat onto skewers and grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a charred exterior.
• STEP 4.Remove the kababs from the skewers and serve hot with mint chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges.

Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading the meat to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• You can use beef or mutton for this recipe, but make sure to choose tender cuts like sirloin or leg.
• For a smokier flavor, you can add a small piece of charcoal to the grill and smoke the kababs for a few minutes before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover kababs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can either grill them again for a few minutes or microwave them until heated through.
• Serve the Bihari kababs as an appetizer with mint chutney and sliced onions, or as a main course with naan or rice.
