Ingredients for Authentic Bihari Kabab
- 500 g beef (frying steak or sirloin works brilliantly) or lamb, cut into thin, long strips
- 1 packet (50 g) Shan Bihari Kabab Mix
- 4 tbsp natural yoghurt
- 2 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
- 2 tbsp cooking oil (ideally mustard oil for an extra authentic flavour)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Wooden skewers (soaked for 30 minutes) or metal skewers
Method: step by step to perfection
- Step 1: Prepare the meat
- Make sure the meat is cut into strips about 1 cm thick and 10–15 cm long. This is classic for Bihari Kabab and helps the meat become wonderfully tender and soak up the marinade quickly.
- Step 2: Mix the marinade
- In a large bowl, combine the whole packet of Shan Bihari Kabab Mix with the yoghurt, ginger and garlic paste, oil and lemon juice. Stir well until you have a smooth, fragrant marinade.
- Step 3: Marinate the meat
- Add the strips of meat to the marinade, making sure every piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours – overnight for the very best results. The longer it marinates, the more tender and flavourful the meat becomes.
- Step 4: Thread the skewers
- Thread the marinated strips onto your skewers in a wavy, zigzag pattern. This holds them in place and ensures they cook evenly.
- Step 5: Grill or fry
- Heat your barbecue, griddle pan or oven grill to high. Grill the skewers for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through with a lovely, lightly caramelised surface. Brush with a little extra oil while grilling for juicier results.
- Step 6: Serve and enjoy
- Serve your sizzling Bihari kebabs straight away. They’re fantastic with freshly baked naan, a cooling mint raita (yoghurt sauce) and a crisp salad with onion rings and lemon wedges.
