Here Are 5 Tips To Remember When Making Kebabs
1. Size of the kebab
If you are making a non-vegetarian kebab, make sure that the size of the meat is not too big or too small. If the size is too small, then there are chances that your meat will get burnt from the outside. And if the meat is too big, it might not get cooked from the inside. The ideal way of getting the size right is to ensure it is bite-sized.
2. Marination
Marination is the key to bringing out flavours. Don't be shy when you are using spices or herbs. Add it to your paste, and make sure that the marinade you create is thin. If you can, let your kebabs marinate overnight or at least for two-three hours. This way, the flavour increases.
3. Butter it up
Whether you are cooking kebabs on your pan or with a piece of charcoal, butter it up nicely before cooking. Buttering the kebab gives it a luscious salty taste and makes it softer from the outside.
4. Add Vegetables
Some of us prefer to have kebabs just as it is, but adding vegetables like grilled onions, capsicum and tomatoes makes it more fulfilling and delicious! When you grill these vegetables on a pan, it adds more smokiness to the dish. Make sure to toss these vegetables in some butter!

5. Don't Overcook
Even when you monitor the cooking progress, you frequently overcook the same food. Don't rely on heat or temperature to give your kebab its restaurant-style colour. The finest colour for the kebabs will come through paprika or Kashmiri chilli powder.
So, the next time you make kebabs, keep these tips in mind before cooking!
