Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. lean ground lamb
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp green chili paste
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp paprika
- ½ cup double cream
- 2 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 lemon cut in wedge

Method:
Iake In a large bowl, mix ground lamb, onions, mint, cilantro, ginger paste, and chili paste. Season it with cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for about two hours.

Once the kebabs are cooked place 1 tsp oil in a pan and sauté the garlic and kebabs together and add ½ cup cream, Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Once cream thickens, take off heat, garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
