Preparation

Step 1

Process the onion, green chillies, garlic and root ginger in a food processor until finely chopped.

Step 2

Finely grate the potatoes and rinse thoroughly with water. Squeeze out as much water as possible by squeezing the grated potato in a sieve or clean tea towel.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the onion mixture and the potatoes with the mince and the remaining ingredients. Mix well

Step 4

Take handfuls of the mixture and shape into sausages or round patties. Place under a hot grill at the highest setting, or cook on a barbecue heated to high heat. Turn over once whilst cooking. Kebabs are done when both sides are crisp and browned, and when juices run clear.

if frying, heat the oil then turn turn to medium and fry these to light golden colour.

Step 5

Serve hot with slices of onion and lemon wedges, salad and a raita yogurt or as a side dish with rice etc.

The Kebabs can be fried or for the health conscious made under the grill or in the oven with just a little sprinkle of oil so they don't stick.
