Procedure :

In a sufficiently large bowl, mix together all the above ingredients except oil.

Cover the bowl with a lid or cling film/foil & place in the fridge to marinate for about 2-3 hrs. or preferably overnight.

Shape into oblong kababs as shown in the picture.

Insert a mint stalk without leaves into each kabab & place on a lightly greased tray.

 Make sure they are a few inches apart so that they do not stick to each other.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan  or a grill pan.

Shallow fry or grill the kababs on all sides until cooked & lightly golden.
