Authentic Spicy Mince Kebabs (Pakistani Style Spiced Meatballs)

These addictive Spicy Mince Kebabs (Pakistani Style Spiced Meatballs) are going up today due to popular demand. This ground beef recipe is super easy, and the kebabs are tender, juicy, can be made ahead, and they taste divine, so really, there’s nothing stopping you! I served them at home this weekend, and they were gone within the first ten minutes of dinner being served! I used a mortar and pestle to crush some ingredients, but you can use a food processor if you have one.
