If there’s one dish that can turn an ordinary dinner into a flavor-packed feast, it’s the Lamb Seekh Kabab. Juicy, spicy, and cooked to perfection over open flames or in a tandoor, this kabab has long been a favorite among food lovers who crave bold Indian flavors.

At Jewel of India, an authentic Indian Food Restaurant in Seattle, WA, we serve this classic kabab dish with pride, using traditional recipes, hand-ground spices, and the highest quality lamb. Whether you’re a seasoned kabab lover or trying it for the first time, our Lamb Seekh Kabab is sure to make a lasting impression.

What Makes Lamb Seekh Kabab So Irresistible?

The word seekh refers to the skewers used to grill these kababs, while kabab simply means grilled meat. Originally believed to have roots in the royal kitchens of Mughal India, Lamb Seekh Kabab is known for its unique texture, balance of spices, and that delicious smoky flavor that only comes from grilling.

Unlike its cousins like shami or galouti kababs that are pan-fried, seekh kababs are grilled or tandoor-cooked, which gives them a charred outer crust while retaining juicy tenderness inside. It's a perfect combination of rustic and regal.

At our Seattle location, we follow a traditional North Indian method of preparation that brings out the best of this beloved dish.

Step-by-Step: How We Prepare Lamb Seekh Kabab

Let’s walk you through our kitchen and show you how we bring this masterpiece to life:

1. Selecting the Right Lamb

It all begins with the lamb. We choose lean ground lamb, freshly minced for the best texture. The meat must be finely ground but not pasty — you want it tender, not mushy.

2. Prepping the Flavor Base

Our unique flavor comes from a blend of fresh aromatics:

  • Finely chopped onions
  • Green chilies
  • Ginger-garlic paste
  • Fresh coriander and mint leaves

These are all mixed into the lamb to give the kababs a juicy and herby base flavor.

3. The Spice Mix – The Heart of Every Kabab

The real secret lies in the spice mix, which includes:

  • Roasted cumin powder
  • Coriander powder
  • Garam masala
  • Red chili powder
  • Crushed black pepper
  • Salt

Every spoonful is carefully measured to balance the richness of lamb with bold yet not overpowering heat.

4. Binding the Mixture

We add a small amount of gram flour (besan) or bread crumbs to help bind the mix and absorb excess moisture from the onions and herbs. An egg may be added optionally for extra binding and richness.

Once all ingredients are mixed thoroughly by hand, the mixture is rested for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Shaping the Kababs

With wet hands, we mold the spiced lamb mixture onto long skewers, shaping them into evenly sized cylinders — about the length of a hotdog but slightly thinner. This traditional cylindrical shape helps the kababs cook evenly while maximizing the grilled surface area.

6. Grilling the Kababs

The skewered kababs are grilled over charcoal or in a hot tandoor until the outside develops a crispy, golden char. The smoky aroma released during this process is simply intoxicating — a sign that the kababs are ready to be devoured.

Grilling takes around 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, and we often baste the kababs with butter or oil midway to keep them moist and flavorful.

7. Serving It Right

Our Lamb Seekh Kababs are served sizzling hot with:

  • Green chutney (made from mint, coriander, and yogurt)
  • Sliced onions and lemon wedges
  • Butter naan or tandoori roti on the side

The spicy, smoky kabab combined with the fresh chutney and warm bread is the perfect Indian street-food experience — elevated to fine dining.
