I’ve the same question as Seena. Can this be made with ground chicken instead of beef? Will we need the meat tenderizer in that case?

You can substitute the beef for ground/minced turkey or chicken.
Both the Turkey and Chicken meat tend to cook a lot faster than beef. We suggest you omit the tenderizer, reduce the yogurt to about 1/2 cup and reduce the cooking times as well to about 30 min covered and 15 uncovered (remember that the color will be different from what the beef looks like).
Like always, we say that everyone’s ovens are different and keep an eye on it.

Also, approximately how many days should it stay?

You can freeze them and reheat them in the oven (thanks to the liquid) and they still remain moist or you can reheat them in the microwave.

Freezer upto 3 months (make sure you freeze in an air-tight container)

Can eggs be eliminated from this recipe as i am allergic to eggs? Can a substitute be used??
[Reply]

Eggs are very important to this recipe, they are used for 2 things, binding and moisture. You can try some egg substitutes like flax seed powder:
for 1 egg – take 1 tbsp of flaxseed powder and add 3 tbsp of warm water. Mix well and allow it to stand for 5 minutes. It will get the same texture as eggs.
Add it in the recipe excatly like you would eggs.
We have never used it in this recipe but have for a lot of others and it works out great! You will not miss the egg at all.
Hope that helps!

Im assuming you are allergic to chicken eggs and not all eggs. If that is true many supermarkets and Asian groceries sell quail eggs and duck eggs. Talk to your doctor first. But i know for a fact some people that have chicken egg allergy can eat duck eggs with no problem. I mean some, ask your doctor to do a spot test before trying other types of eggs.

Can I use this recipe to make mini meatloafs in the mini cupcakes pan. If so do I still need to cover the mini cupcakes pan with foil when I bake.

Yes, you can make mini kebabs. Yes, cover the pan, but the baking time will probably be a little less. Keep a close eye on it.

You would have to saute them until brown to get the same flavor.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
If I want to use minced lamb instead of beef, how would the cooking time and ingredient amounts change? Also, would I still need to use a meat tenderizer? I’m planning to make this for a party this weekend, so I’d really appreciate a reply before that!
Thanks,
Hina.
PS: I have tried numerous recipes from your website and have gotten very good responses from anyone who’s had them. You two are my new best friends!
Cooking is now exciting! Thanks a million!

Hi Anuja and Hetal,
I started using your website about 6 months ago and since then i have not checked any other website…you guys are simply the best. These kebabs were delicious and all my guests loved it too. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your yummy recipes. I feel confident about cooking now. It would be great if you could show us how to make golguppas and the pani sometime. Thanks for your invaluable contribution in making our mealtimes little easier and super delicious.
Thank you!

Hi
love your recipes!
one question though. Do we need to wash the mince (and meat in general) before using when we buy it from a store here in the US? I have noticed when I watch cooking shows that the cook just opens the packet of meat and uses the contents just like that.

Hi Veera,
General rule is that you don’t need to because of the strict sanitary laws here (they claim it’s as clean as it’s going to get) plus you have a higher risk of spreading germs and bacteria by washing it in the sink (due to the water splashing etc). The other point is that we tend to (mostly) cook the meats a lot more than vegetables so it is more important wash your veges than the meat. Having said that we suggest you do what you find comfortable

U mention lemon juice in the list of ingredients but no mention of it in the recipe. Not even as a garnish. The recipe i see has 7 steps. Am i missing something?

The lime or lemon juice is purely a garnish…to be squeezed over the top at the time of serving.

Hi Hetal n Anuja,
I
Thank you so much for this recipe.. I’m more of a lurker having come across your website through a friend’s recommendation. Just wanted to share I’ve tried both beef and lamb but the hubby reckons its awesome with the lamb. I also experimented and added couple of tablespoon of tomato sauce to the mixture…was complimented by hubby and my parents
You two make not only healthy food but also make Indian food so easy to non Indians. Got few other mates who love Indian food to jump here for all their cooking needs. Thanks again for all your wonderful efforts.
Cheers
