SEEKH KEBAB WITH MINT CHUTNEY



Seekh Kebab With Mint Chutney image

Served at most traditional Indian restaurants, seekh kebabs are made with ground lamb that's been seasoned with garam masala, cumin seeds, fresh ginger and fresh cilantro, then grilled and served with raw red onion and bright mint chutney to offset the richness and heat. This recipe comes from Chintan Pandya, the executive chef at Adda Indian Canteen, a New York restaurant that specializes in homestyle Indian food. You'll need to purchase deggi mirch, an Indian chile powder that tastes somewhat like a smoky paprika, but is mild enough to be used in a quantity large enough to color the meat red. The spiced meat mixture benefits from chilling to help retain its shape on the grill, but you could also roll it into meatballs and pan-sear them on the stovetop or roast them in the oven, if the season dictates.

Time 45m

Yield 6 kebabs

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/4 pounds ground lamb
1 packed cup shredded Amul cheese or white Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
1/3 packed cup very finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons deggi chile powder, plus additional for garnish
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced green Thai chile or serrano chile (with seeds)
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon black cumin seeds (shah zeera) or regular cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Kosher salt
Neutral oil, for greasing
3 packed cups roughly chopped cilantro, leaves and tender stems
2 packed cups roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced green Thai or serrano chile (seeds included)
2 tablespoons anardana (dried pomegranate seeds), crushed, or very finely chopped fresh mango
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar, plus more as needed
Red onion, very thinly sliced, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the lamb skewers: In a large bowl, combine the lamb with the cheese, cilantro, chile powder, ginger, garlic, green chile, garam masala, cumin seeds, cardamom and 2 teaspoons salt. Shape the meat like a sausage into six 5-inch logs that are just under 2 inches thick. Skewer each and pack them tightly. Refrigerate for 2 hours and up to overnight to firm up.
  • Prepare the mint chutney: Add the cilantro, mint, red onion, ginger, green chile and 1/4 cup water to a blender. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. (Add more water by the spoonful, if needed, until mixture is saucy.) Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the anardana, lemon juice and sugar; season to taste with salt and more sugar, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to use. (The mint chutney is best the day it's prepared, but it can be refrigerated one day in advance.)
  • Brush the grill with neutral oil and heat over medium. Grill the kebabs, rotating as needed, until browned all over and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with mint chutney, and very thinly sliced red onion, if desired. Sprinkle kebabs and onions (if using) with deggi chile powder and serve immediately.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

4 nectarines, halved and pitted
Canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, finely diced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch dice
6-inch wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 20 minutes
Kosher salt
Olive oil, for drizzling
4 pita breads, with pockets

Steps:

  • For the chutney:
  • Heat the grill to high.
  • Brush the nectarines with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut side down until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the nectarines over and grill until just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the chile, garlic, ginger and mustard seeds and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the nectarines and cook for 1 minute, season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, cool, and stir in the raisins, coconut and mint. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
  • For the skewers:
  • Heat the grill to high. Combine the coriander, cumin, mustard seeds and black peppercorns in a small skillet on the grates of the grill and grill until lightly toasted, about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring a few times; transfer to a coffee grinder and process until finely ground and place in a bowl. Add the ancho, turmeric, garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup canola oil and vinegar and whisk until it forms a paste. If the mixture is too dry, add a few tablespoons of water to loosen it to a paste.
  • Place lamb in a large bowl, add the curry paste and toss to coat each piece of lamb. You can grill immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to intensify.
  • Skewer 2 pieces of lamb onto 2 skewers so that the meat lays flat on the grill. Season both sides of the lamb with salt and grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with pita bread and chutney.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT CHUTNEY



Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint Chutney image

From The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman. "You can make this easy mint chutney quite hot, and it still seems balanced, especially when served with a rich, flavorful meat like lamb. Heat comes in a wide variety of flavors, and what works best here is a bit of roasted fresh hananero (also called Scotch bonnet), the hottest chile you can find. But minced raw jalapeno or hot red pepper flakes are also good. No matter what you use, add a little at a time (I'd start with a quarter teaspoon if you're using habanero) and taste repeatedly, bearing in mind that the heat of chiles can "bloom" after a few minutes. Serve this with a neutral dish like plain rice, and perhaps a cooling salad."

MINT CHUTNEY



Mint Chutney image

In Desi cooking, mint chutney enlivens eggs, kormas, biriyanis, sandwiches and many other dishes, adding a sour, spicy and fresh cooling sweetness. Where it really sings, though, is as an accompaniment to samosas and chaats. Use Greek yogurt if you want a creamy chutney. Depending on preference, you can skip the raw garlic.

Provided by Zainab Shah

Categories     condiments

Time 5m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup loosely packed cilantro with stems
2 cups loosely packed mint leaves
2 teaspoons cumin seeds or 1 teaspoon cumin powder
3 to 5 Thai green chiles, stemmed
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or water
2 garlic cloves (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until smooth and thick enough to hold at the lip of a spoon without any liquid running. The chunky bits should not separate from the liquid. The consistency of the chutney will probably depend on the strength of the blender, and a chunky chutney made with a lower powered blender tastes just as good as a very smooth one. The chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

MINT CHUTNEY, BARBECUED LAMB & POTATO SALAD



Mint chutney, barbecued lamb & potato salad image

This beautiful barbecued lamb with a fresh minty chutney makes a great sharing dish for friends. Serve with our new potato and spring onion salad

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small leg of lamb , about 1.5kg, butterflied (ask your butcher to do this for you)
1 large pack mint (about 100g), leaves picked
1 small pack coriander
3 garlic cloves
1 finger-sized piece of ginger
2 green chillies , deseeded if you like
2 tsp cumin seeds , toasted
1 lemon , juiced
800g new potatoes , halved
100g peas , frozen or fresh and podded
2 spring onions , sliced
200g Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • First, make the chutney. Put all the ingredients with a good pinch of salt and a small splash of water in a minichopper or food processor and blitz to a chunky paste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.
  • Use one-third of the chutney to marinate the lamb for at least a couple of hours, or up to 24 hrs before. To make the potato salad, boil the potatoes until just cooked, around 12-15 mins. When they've got about a minute left, add the peas. Drain and leave to cool. Toss the spring onions through the potatoes and peas, then dress with one-third of the chutney and the yogurt. Can be made a day ahead and chilled in the fridge. Take out 1 hr before serving.
  • To cook the lamb, heat the barbecue until the coals are ashen. Grill the lamb, flesh-side down, for about 25 mins, then flip it over and cook on the fat side for about 15 mins until charred and sizzling. When the lamb is cooked to your liking, leave it to rest on a warm platter to catch the juices. To serve, carve the lamb into thick slices, again catching the juices. In a bowl, mix the cooking juices with the remaining chutney, and serve alongside the lamb.
