Ridiculously good. I'm always eager to try lamb dishes, because I love lamb, and so few dishes in the US use it. I stuck to the recipe for the most part, but I did add in a bit of turmeric and some spicy curry powder -- just a bit. I was in lamb heaven. I love the cilantro and mint... excellent combination. I'll surely be making this again. Everyone who tried it thought it was amazing.

These are so good! I made them into patties and fried them, mostly due to laziness. I will be making these regularly, thank you!

I was so concerned that the meat would fall off the skewers on the grill, but they held in there perfectly. Don't try to turn them too soon, let them really brown on the bottom--best way to ensure this is to use the oil specified in the recipe to coat the grill racks. This recipe was very easy, fantastically flavorful, and fun to eat. LOVED IT!

I made this last night, and got the best reviews ever from company. I only used one large onion, and ground the lamb myself with the help of my stand mixer. I ended up making small patties, though, and cooking them on cast iron on the stove (ran out of propane for the grill). I had my company say it was better than the food they'd had in authentic curry houses. Top notch.

This is a wonderful recipe! I usually make it with lean ground beef instead of lamb. I have never used mint - instead I use double the amount of coriander leaves. I usually do have to add bread crumbs to the mixture to help it stay together. I have made this both with and without skewers. Without skewers, I just shape them into smaller kebabs. I usually broil these for about 5 minutes, then turn them and broil for about another 5 minutes but they do have to be watched quite closely as they cook very quickly. Thanks, Yakuta for this great recipe!

I used lean beef instead of lambs, and put the chopped chiles, ginger, and onion in the food processor. I added bread crumbs and refrigerated but still had a problem with the kebabs falling apart on the grill. We liberally oiled the grill grates, but the kebabs kept sticking to the grill, and were ripped apart when we turned them. These still tasted wonderful, and I will make them again but I will shape them into patties instead.

I broiled patties of this tasty meat mixture and WOW!! really great!! A little over salty but I'll fix that next time. I want to try this on the grill. I served with a little yogurt, the carrot peanut salad on this site, hummus, naan and plain green peas. Terrific Dinner!!

This was AWESOME! I love cilantro so the flavor was fantastic to me! I'd make it again over and over except for my husband was a bit overwhelmed with the same cilantro I love so much. He did like it better as leftovers, though...

Flavorful, moist, and adjustable! I used ground turkey, fresh ginger (kept in freezer and grated finely), and canned chopped green chilis. I also had to add 1 cup of bread crumbs to give the turkey some binding ability. My family has asked me to make more next time!

This is a fantastic, flavorful recipe that my family and friends love. Couple of suggestions for preparation And serving; We use lean beef instead of lamb just because it's more economical. It's difficult to form the meat around skewers, so form them first and then just insert the skewers. This pairs well on Greek pita bread with humus, cucumbers, lettuce and tomato's.

Love this recipe and really folks, you can't substiture lamb for anything else. It may taste ok but it won't be Sheekh Kabab. I'm a big lamb fan and so is my family.

What a FANTASTIC recipe! It tastes very authentic and it is so easy to make. My husband is Iranian, and Iranians usually grate the onions by hand for their kababs (rather than chop them finely). I'm too lazy for that, and usually just puree them in the food processor (S Blade, NOT the grater disc). For this particular Indian-Style recipe, I suggest doing all of the following in the food processor: (a) "mincing" the ginger; (b) "grating" the onion (JUST BARELY PUREED and added on top of the ginger); (c) mixing the spices with puree mixture so that they will be evenly distributed in the meat mixture; and (d) adding the cilanto and mint to the onion puree and "pulsing" a couple times to "chop them finely". (You will want to work quickly and wash your food processor right away so the spices don't stain it.) Also, in the wintertime, we often just make meat patties using a restaurant-style burger press, and bake them in the oven with a broiler treatment the last few minuites. Although it is not as good as on the BBQ, it is still pretty darn good. This is one of our favorite recipes!

Excellent recipe that also works well with a ground beef and sausage mixture. Try using flat skewers (if you can find them) and the meat will not spin when you try to turn it on the grill. And as someone else mentioned...chop ingredients very fine.
