Recipe
1
Mix the minced mutton thoroughly with raw papaya paste, ginger paste, and garlic paste, then set aside to marinate for at least 2 hours.
2
Add roasted gram flour, red chili powder, garam masala, cardamom powder, nutmeg-mace powder, and salt to the marinated meat.
3
Place a small metal bowl in the center of the meat mixture, put a red-hot charcoal piece inside, pour a few drops of ghee on it, and cover tightly for 10 minutes to impart a smoky flavor.
4
Stir in the kewra water and rose water, mixing everything uniformly into a smooth paste.
5
Heat ghee on a flat heavy-bottomed griddle (tawa) over medium-low heat.
6
Take portions of the mixture, gently flatten them into round patties with wet hands, and place them on the hot griddle.
7
Pan-fry the kebabs gently for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and exceptionally tender, adding a little ghee if needed.
8
Serve hot alongside traditional ulte haath ki paratha and sliced onions.
