INGREDIENTS
Serves 2-3, yields 5 large kabobs
- 2 tbsp Saponon Ke Seekh Kabob Spice Blend
- 1/2 small to medium yellow onion, roughly chopped (~75-85 g)
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves (~8 g)
- 1.5 tbsp mint leaves (~2 g)
- 12 oz vegan ground beef (e.g., Beyond Meat or Impossible)
- 4-5 garlic cloves, crushed (~1/2 tbsp)
- 1/2 tbsp crushed ginger

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the Herb Mixture:
-
Roughly chop the onion, serrano peppers, cilantro, and mint.
-
Place the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
-
Transfer to a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer and press to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
2. Grind the Garlic and Ginger:
-
In the same food processor, pulse the garlic and ginger until finely chopped.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan ground beef with the garlic and ginger paste.
-
Add the strained herb mixture, along with cumin, coriander, garam masala, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
-
Knead the mixture until smooth. If it’s too wet, add chickpea flour or breadcrumbs to help bind.
4. Shape the Kabobs:
-
Grease your hands and 8-inch skewers lightly with oil.
-
Mold the mixture around the skewers into long, even shapes (about 1 inch thick). Repeat with the remaining mixture.
5. Grill the Kabobs:
-
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
-
Grill the kabobs for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating occasionally for even cooking until golden and firm to the touch.
6. Serve:
-
Remove the kabobs from the skewers and serve hot with naan, rice, or your favorite dipping sauces like mint chutney. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Seekh Kabobs!
