Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into long, flat kebabs around the skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Brush the kebabs with oil and let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface. Carefully place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and fully cooked.
Once done, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney, raita, or salad for a complete and delicious meal.
