Delicious Boti Kababs Recipe: Tender, Flavorful Skewered Beef or Lamb Kababs

2/11/2025

0 Comments

 
Boti Kababs are a classic South Asian dish, particularly popular in Pakistan and India. These marinated, grilled chunks of beef or lamb are packed with bold flavors from a perfect blend of spices and yogurt, creating a tender, juicy, and flavorful kabab. The marinade, which includes aromatic spices like garam masala, coriander powder, and ginger-garlic paste, infuses the meat with rich taste and tenderness, while grilling or pan-frying results in a beautifully charred exterior. Boti Kababs are perfect for a barbecue, family meal, or special occasion, often served with naan, rice, or a side of cooling raita. Whether you prefer lamb or beef, these kababs are sure to impress with their smoky flavor and mouthwatering texture.
Beef Kababs Boti
Here’s a delicious Boti Kabab recipe that’s perfect for grilling or pan-frying. Boti Kababs are marinated chunks of meat, typically lamb or beef, that are skewered and grilled to perfection. This flavorful dish is popular in South Asian cuisine, particularly in Pakistan and India.

Ingredients:
  • Beef or Lamb (boneless, halal, grass-fed): 1 lb (450g), cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Yogurt (preferably full-fat): 1/2 cup
  • Ginger-Garlic Paste: 1 tablespoon
  • Onion (medium): 1, grated or finely chopped
  • Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons
  • Cumin Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Coriander Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Red Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
  • Turmeric Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Garam Masala: 1 teaspoon
  • Kasuri Methi (dried fenugreek leaves): 1 teaspoon (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Salt: to taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Chili Flakes: 1/2 teaspoon (optional for heat)
  • Oil or Ghee: 2 tablespoons (for marinating)
  • Fresh Coriander or Mint Leaves: A handful, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Skewers: Wooden or metal (soaked if using wooden skewers)

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, grated onion, lemon juice, and all the dry spices: cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, kasuri methi, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
  2. Add oil or ghee to the mixture and stir everything well to form a smooth marinade.
  3. Add the beef or lamb cubes to the marinade and mix gently to coat each piece evenly. Ensure that all the pieces are well-coated with the spices.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, preferably overnight, for the flavors to fully absorb.
Step 2: Skewer the Meat
  1. Once the meat has marinated, take the pieces out and thread them onto skewers. Make sure the pieces are not too tight on the skewer, allowing heat to circulate and cook the meat evenly.
Step 3: Grill or Pan-Fry
  • Grilling Method:
    • Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
    • Place the skewers on the grill and cook the kababs for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Be sure to baste the kababs with a little oil or ghee as they cook to keep them moist.
  • Pan-Frying Method:
    • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or ghee.
    • Place the marinated meat pieces in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are evenly browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
  • Once the Boti Kababs are cooked, remove them from the skewers (if grilled) or from the pan.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped coriander or mint leaves for added freshness.
  • Serve hot with naan, rice, or a side of fresh salad. You can also enjoy them with mint yogurt chutney or lemon wedges.

Tips:
  • Meat Choice: You can use lamb, beef, or even chicken for this recipe. If using chicken, marinate for about 1-2 hours instead of overnight.
  • Marination: The longer the marination, the more flavorful the kababs will be. If you don’t have much time, marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is ideal.
  • Grilling Option: For that smoky flavor, you can add a piece of charcoal on top of the kababs while grilling. Heat the charcoal until it is red hot, then place it in a small bowl with a bit of ghee, and place it in the center of the kababs to infuse a smoky aroma.

Serving Suggestions:
  • Serve your Boti Kababs with naan, paratha, or steamed rice.
  • A side of onion salad, raita, or tahini sauce pairs beautifully with the kababs for a complete meal.

Note:
For the best results, you can use halal, grass-fed meat for a healthier and more flavorful dish. Additionally, feel free to use organic or non-GMO ingredients to make the recipe even more wholesome and nutritious.
