She wrote down the recipe, we measured out the ingredients, she shaped the kababs, and we grilled them for lunch. I&#8217;m happy to say her molding technique is far better than mine was on my first try &#8211; those cooking shows we watch together are definitely paying off.<\/p>\n<p>This is how we made it:<\/p>\n<p>1. Place one pound of meat into a mixing bowl. We used beef, but you can use chicken as well. Make sure the meat is completely dry\/thawed. I like to ask the butcher to wash the meat before he minces it for me.<\/p>\n<p>2. Grate three tbsp of onion. Squeeze out all the water. Put into meat.<\/p>\n<p>3. Grate 3 cloves of garlic. And 1 tbsp of ginger. Chop 2 tbsp cilantro. Add to meat.<\/p>\n<p>4. Add 1\/4 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1\/2 tsp garam masala powder, and 1 tsp salt to the meat mix.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_131402578.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-156\" src=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_131402578-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150117_131402578\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_131402578-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_131402578-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_131402578.jpg 1456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>5. Stir to blend all the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>6. Oil the handle of a thin wooden spoon. Take about a 1\/3 cup of the meat mix and form the kabab over the oiled handle. <strong>Slide the kabab off carefully<\/strong>. Repeat until you finish all the ground meat mixture. Or you could always make them into patties instead.<a href=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132134600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-155\" src=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132134600-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150117_132134600\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132134600-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132134600-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132134600.jpg 1456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132552638.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-152\" src=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132552638-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150117_132552638\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132552638-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ruku.kazia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_20150117_132552638-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>7.
