With every bite, you experience centuries of culinary tradition and flavor innovation.

Whether you're savoring it as a starter, a protein-packed entrée, or a party platter centerpiece, Lamb Seekh Kebab never fails to impress. At Delhi Indian Cuisine in Las Vegas, we take pride in serving this gluten-free masterpiece, hot and sizzling, accompanied by fresh mint and tangy tamarind chutneys.

What is Lamb Seekh Kebab?

Seekh Kebabs are a staple in Mughlai and North Indian cuisine, traditionally made from minced meat infused with herbs, garlic, and exotic spices, then molded onto long skewers and grilled in a tandoor. The term "seekh" refers to the skewer itself, while "kebab" refers to the spiced meat.

Our Lamb Seekh Kebab uses high-quality ground lamb, seasoned with robust spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chili flakes. The result? A juicy, charred, mouth-watering delicacy that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with layers of flavor.

How We Make It – Step-by-Step Lamb Seekh Kebab Recipe

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how this iconic dish is made in our kitchen:

Step 1: Choosing the Meat

We begin with lean ground lamb, rich in flavor and ideal for skewering. The fat content must be just enough to retain moisture but not so much that it drips excessively in the tandoor.

Step 2: Spice Blending

A fragrant blend of spices and herbs is prepared, including:

  • Fresh chopped cilantro and mint
  • Finely diced onions for moisture and texture
  • Ground coriander, cumin, garam masala, and red chili powder
  • Minced ginger and garlic
  • A dash of lemon juice or vinegar for tang
  • Salt and pepper for balance

Step 3: Mixing & Marinating

The lamb is mixed thoroughly with the spices and allowed to marinate, often overnight, so the flavors penetrate deep into the meat.

Step 4: Skewering

The marinated lamb mixture is hand-shaped around long iron skewers in even cylinders, ensuring it holds shape and cooks evenly.

Step 5: Tandoor Roasting

Skewers are placed in the clay oven (tandoor) where the heat reaches over 900°F. The kebabs roast quickly, developing a charred crust and smoky aroma while staying juicy inside.

Step 6: Sizzling Presentation

The kebabs are served on a hot sizzler plate with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and sometimes lemon wedges or pickled onions for an extra zing.
