Ingredients
For the Mutton Mixture:

- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 egg (for binding)
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (adjust as needed)
For the Cheese Filling:
- 100 grams mozzarella cheese, grated
- 50 grams cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs (optional)
For Coating and Frying:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil for shallow frying
Instruction
Step 1: Prepare the Mutton Mixture
1.
In a large mixing
bowl, add minced mutton, chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies,
coriander, and mint leaves.
2.
Add garam masala,
red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, and
turmeric powder.
3.
Crack in the egg and
mix well. Gradually add breadcrumbs to achieve a firm, non-sticky texture.
4.
Knead the mixture
thoroughly for about 5 minutes to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
5.
Cover the bowl and
refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. This helps in binding and enhances
flavor.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Filling
1.
In a separate bowl,
mix mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
2.
Add mixed Italian
herbs (if using) and set aside.
Step 3: Shape and Stuff the Kababs
1.
Take a small portion
of the mutton mixture (about the size of a golf ball).
2.
Flatten it on your
palm to form a round patty.
3.
Place a spoonful of
the cheese mixture in the center and carefully seal the edges, forming a
smooth, round kabab.
4.
Repeat the process
for the remaining mixture and cheese.
Step 4: Coat the Kababs
1.
Dip each stuffed
kabab in the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
2.
Roll it in
breadcrumbs for a crisp, golden finish.
3.
Repeat for all
kababs and place them on a plate.
Step 5: Fry the Kababs
1.
Heat oil in a
shallow frying pan over medium heat.
2.
Once the oil is hot,
place the kababs gently in the pan.
3.
Fry in batches to
avoid overcrowding, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and
cooked through.
4.
Remove and place on
paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Cheese Mutton Kababs hot with green chutney,
mint yogurt dip, or tomato ketchup. Garnish with onion rings and lemon wedges
for a burst of freshness.
Tips and Variations
1.
Grill Option: Instead of frying, grill the kababs on skewers for a smokier flavor.
2.
Cheese Options: Substitute mozzarella and cheddar with feta or processed cheese for a
unique taste.
3.
Spice Level: Adjust the number of green chilies to make it spicier or milder.
4.
Veggie Twist: Add finely chopped bell peppers or grated carrots to the mutton mixture
for added texture and flavor.
