Looking for the perfect ground meat recipe? Seekh and you shall find! Until my friend Ravish Kohly showed me his tips and tricks, I was doing this all wrong!
Couple of things to remember
1. Never wash your meat
2. Keep your kebab mixture as try as possible
3. Work the protein by kneading the meat like a dough
3. Use lean meat to minimize the drip and flare up
4. Use metal skewers and cook the kebabs over an indirect flame
5. If using a resular bbq, be sure to elevate the skewers from both sides
