In a large bowl, mix all kabab marinade ingredients with the meat. Massage well to coat evenly.

Cover and let marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight is better).

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Thread marinated meat cubes onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece.

Heat a pan or grill on low heat, cook skewers for 4–5 minutes on each side.

Once all sides are seared, raise heat to low-medium and cook until meat is tender and juicy.

Brush with ghee and mustard oil while cooking for extra flavor.

For mint raita, blend mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, and water until smooth.

In a bowl, mix the blended paste with tamarind water, lime juice, mustard paste, black salt, salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, yogurt, and sugar. Adjust consistency with water as needed.

Chill the raita until ready to serve.
