Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Mix ground beef with finely chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and green chili in a large bowl.

Add chopped cilantro and mint leaves to the meat mixture.

Sprinkle in cumin, coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt; mix well until combined.

Drizzle lemon juice into the mixture and blend thoroughly.

Shape the mixture onto soaked skewers, pressing firmly to form cylindrical kebabs.

Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 375°F).

Brush kebabs lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Place skewers on the grill or in the oven; cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve hot with mint chutney and naan or rice.
