Instructions
 

Prepare the Koobideh

  • Finely mince the mutton. In a large bowl, combine the minced mutton, onion paste, ginger-garlic paste, salt, cumin, coriander, garam masala, saffron water, and chopped coriander. Mix thoroughly and marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer in the refrigerator.

Shape and Grill the Kebabs

  • Form the marinated mutton into oblong shapes around skewers. Ensure they are flat and evenly shaped.

Cook the Kebabs

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the kebabs lightly with vegetable oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. For a smoky char, you can use a charcoal grill, or a grill pan after oven baking.

Serve

  • Serve the Chelo Kebab Koobideh hot with saffron basmati rice, roasted tomato, roasted chili pepper, and pickled shallots.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Chelo Kebab Koobideh

  • For the most flavorful kebabs, marinate the meat overnight. The longer it marinates, the more tender and flavorful the kebabs will be.
  • Don't overwork the meat when mixing it with the marinade. Overmixing can make the kebabs tough.
  • Use high-quality saffron threads for the best flavor and color in your rice and marinade.
  • If using a charcoal grill, be sure to use a heat-resistant tray to avoid damaging your cooking surface.
