1

Turn the flame to medium heat and dry roast whole coriander seeds and dried red chilies in a medium-sized steel pan, stirring to prevent burning.

2

Remove the roasted spices from the heat and let them cool before grinding them into a fine powder.

3

Blot any moisture from the ground meat using a paper towel to ensure kebabs hold together better.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, fried onions, chopped cilantro, green chilies, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, dried mango powder, and salt.

5

Mix the ingredients thoroughly, then taste a small portion cooked on a skillet to check seasoning.

6

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.

7

After marinating, mix in the beaten egg and combine well. If the mixture is too moist, add breadcrumbs for binding.

8

Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle a little oil.

9

Shape the meat mixture into elongated kebabs, flattening them slightly for faster cooking.

10

Cook the kebabs in the skillet until the bottom is browned, then flip them to brown the other side.

11

Alternatively, for larger batches, preheat the oven on high broil, shape kebabs, and place them on foil to broil for 5-7 minutes on each side, keeping an eye to prevent burning.

12

Once cooked and golden on both sides, remove from heat, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve with mint chutney.
