Once the kebabs were prepared, I used the remaining marinade to whip up a delicious pot of biriyani.

What’s in a Lamb Kebab Marinade:

Lamb Kebab Marinade consists of yogurt, ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, black pepper, chili powder, lemon juice, and salt all blended together. It is advisable to leave it in the refrigerator overnight so that the flavors of the spices are well infused in the lamb chunks. The yogurt also helps in softening the lamb, making it juicy and succulent.

Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients given under marination. It may seem over-seasoned, but the lamb needs it! Marinate the lamb chunks and set aside for four hours or overnight in refrigerator. It helps in infusing the flavors to the lamb.
  2. Dip the skewers in water for about 30 minutes. This helps in preventing the skewer from getting burnt.
  3. Heat a grill pan and sprinkle oil.
  4. Skew a marinated lamb chunk followed by onion, tomato and bell paper pieces. Place on the grill and cook until deep brown on one side. Flip and continue to cook. It would take about ten minutes.
  5. Lamb Kebabs are ready!
  6. Making Lamb Kebab Biriyani:
  7. In a pan, add one tablespoon ghee. Add onions and cook until golden brown.
  8. Add chopped tomatoes and cook till mushy.
  9. Add garam masala and chilli powder. Mix well.
  10. Add the remaining marinade (remember the left over marinade from making lamb kebabs) and give a quick stir.
  11. Add chopped coriander and mint leaves along with some salt. Mix again. Cook for a couple of minutes in low heat.
  12. Add the lamb kebabs and mix.
  13. Add a layer of 3/4 cooked basmati rice. Sprinkle remaining one tablespoon of ghee on top of it.
  14. Add saffron strands, few coriander leaves and fried potato cubes.
  15. Close with a lid and cook till you see steam coming off. That would take about 5-7 minutes.
  16. Serve hot with raita.

    We never buy Lamb, the only time they are seen in our table, is during Eid. Thanks to Muslim neighbors, we get some fresh ones then. Next time, for Eid this is definitely going to be in my dining table. I love biriyani. Any kind. Any form. And this recipe for marination is the same we do for Chicken Kebab. And it’s amazing.

    This looks good enough to eat off the screen! One question – do you really use lamb or actually goat? Because I find the lamb has a very strange smell and also slightly chewy and fatty…..
