- Fry the flour for 3 minutes as well.
- Finely grind the meat and fat in a chopper or pass through a hand machine 3 times.
- In a bowl, mix the minced meat with onions, garlic paste, finely chopped green chilies, turmeric, chopped red chilies, salt, ground spice mix, and flour. Mix well and refrigerate for an hour.
- Form a barbecue stick or skewer by tying 5-6 wooden sticks together.
- Apply the minced meat (qeema) on the skewers in a cylindrical shape. Dissolve yellow food coloring in a cup, dip your hand in it, and lightly touch the kebabs to color them.
