Mix ground meat, finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a large bowl.

Add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper to the mixture.

Incorporate bread crumbs and beaten egg to bind the mixture.

Add lemon juice and mix until well combined.

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Preheat the grill or frying pan over medium heat.

Shape the meat mixture onto skewers, forming long cylindrical shapes.

Brush the skewers with oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the kababs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and browned.

Alternatively, fry the kababs in a pan with oil over medium heat until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

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

Serve hot with naan and chutney.
