Ingredients:

Mutton- 1/2 kg
Chana dal (Gram lentil)- 1 bowl
Cinnamon- 1 piece
Cloves- 3-4
Cardamom- 3-4

Chop the onion, mint and green chillis very very fine. Add lemon juice, salt and mix well. Keep aside.

All the ingredients of the kebab, except oil, chat masala and salt, put it on boil. Boil till the meat and chana dal is tender. After it is done, gring it into a fine dough. There shouldn't be any pieces. Then add salt and chat masala. Mix well. If needed, add some red chilli powder.
Now take some meat dough and make spread it on your hand. Put in a lil bit of the filling and wrap the dough around it. Give it a flattened round shape. Fry it on a tava.
If you want you can also dip it in egg and fry, or roll it in breadcrumbs. This gives the kebabs some crunchiness.

Serve hot with onion and mint salad and green chutney :)
