Ranveer Brar’s Dorra Kebab
Inroduction
About this Recipe
By: Sheridan Rogers
Few of us have ever used a silk thread to impart a smoky flavour to food, yet that’s what’s required to make this legendary Lucknawi kebab. I don’t usually run recipes like this one which require ingredients not readily available in our supermarkets, but it’s a good introduction to the culinary world of Ranveer Brar, one of India’s top celebrity chefs.
Ingredients
- lamb 1Kg (from leg or shoulder)
- kidney fat 250g
- vanilla 1 bean, seeds scraped out
- khus root (vetiver) 1
- ground sandalwood 2.5g
- gum arabica (gondh) a pinch
- flax seeds 2.5g
- ground pistachio 5g
- kebab chini (allspice) 5g
- pesticide-free rose petals a few
- ground saffron 2.5g
- thick raw silk thread (Dora)
Mince the meat and the fat and pass through the mincer for 10-12 minutes until it becomes a fine paste. Add the spices to the paste and mix well. Press onto rounded wooden skewers (dip your hands in water to do this) and wrap a silk dorra (silk thread) around the kebab. Cook over a charcoal grill or barbecue until done. Remove the dorra and serve.
Ranveer brar added 32 spices, you’ve mentioned none.
Yes, well that’s because he didn’t tell me what they were…he obviously didn’t want to give away the full recipe for his signature dish. Maybe write to him direct and ask him.
