  1. In a mixing bowl, add the minced meat, chopped onion, green chilies, coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, lemon juice, and gram flour. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to combine them well. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
  2. After marination, take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a ball, approximately the size of a golf ball. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
  4. Insert the skewers into the center of each meatball, ensuring the meat is securely molded around the skewer.
  5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill or oven rack and brush them with oil for basting. This will help keep the kababs moist and prevent them from sticking.
  6. Grill the kababs for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked thoroughly and acquire a golden-brown color. Remember to turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  7. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
