How to make a Lamb Seekh Kebab more juicy and soft?

Best Answer
There are no "secret ingredients" in making soft and juicy kebab. Much like sausage, meatballs, or meatloaf, this ground meat based food relies on salt, fat, and proper cooking to remain juicy. I recommend Chapter 5 of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's The Food Lab for an explanation of how these elements interact (though I do not believe the book has a kebab recipe).
With this in mind, find a recipe and follow it! Make sure to include the proper amount of salt (preferably measuring by weight) and to use a sufficiently fatty cut of lamb. Then take care to not overcook the kebab, using a thermometer to check the internal temperature.

That extra fat will help to keep the kabab tender & juicy. Stay away from lean meat that is completely stripped of fat. Never over cook or over fry a Kabab: Over cooking strips off moisture making it into a dry lump of meat.

Lack of fat in kabab: If your seekh kababs are dry and don't have enough fat, they won't hold together. Mince is thick: You need superfine dough like mince for seekh kabab. If using normal mince, you must process mince again in the chopper for a dough-like soft mince mixture, as described in the recipe.How do you make seekh kebab not fall apart?
Adding salt before you mix your meat will help break down the meat protein which will give your meat a more gluey consistency which will help the meat hold together better. (This is also how you get that springy chew to the meat as well.)Why are my kebabs soft?
More the chana daal, softer the texture will be. It's very important to cook the mixture of meat and daal until all the water has completely and absolutely evaporated out of the mixture before you take it off the heat. If the mixture is too wet, the kebabs will not hold their shape and will disintegrate while frying.SEEKH KABAB FOR EID || Original Juicy and Soft Beef Kabab (Break Proof)
