    Heena's Notes: This is one of my favorite recipes for lamb kebabs - it's quick, simple and delicious. Minced lamb is mixed with fragrant spices and cashewnuts and then baked till cooked but still moist...

Serves 20 meatballs

  1. Preheat the oven to 400⁰F (200⁰C).

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  2. Place all the ingredients in the order given in a food processor and process until well mixed. (The cashewnuts will still be in pieces - I happen to like this. If you want it mixed completely, process it to a paste first before adding the other ingredients.)

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix gently with your hands. Form into 20 medium sized balls and place on a baking sheet. (Alternatively apply the mixture to skewers with moist hands.)

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 mins until cooked but still moist, turning over the kebabs once or twice with a fork or tongs. Serve hot with mint chutney, thinly sliced onions and lemon wedges. Leftovers are great for lunch in a wrap with lettuce, cucumbers, green peppers, onions and tzatziki.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  1. Place all the ingredients except the yogurt and salt in a processor and grind to a fine paste.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  2. Add the paste to the yogurt and mix well. Season with salt.

Will this work with pork...am not a lamb person, but like the flavors you used here.

In India, this is usually made with goat's meat. Beef might be a closer substitute than pork. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
