Make the Paste

  • In a blender, add ginger, garlic, yogurt, mustard oil, papaya chunks, green pepper, fresh lemon juice, fried onion, and blend well until smooth.

Bihari Kababs

  • Have your butcher finely cut beef tenderloins in to 1 inch wide strips.
  • In a medium size bowl, add strips of beef tenderloins, the paste that was in the blender and homemade Bihari Kabab Masala.
  • Mix well.
  • Give Coal smoke by placing a stainless steel bowl in the middle of the marination, then heat up the coal on the stove, once the coal is lit; place it on the bowl.
  • then add 1 tbsp of oil on the lit coal, and quickly place a lid on the bowl so it can capture the smoke.
  • Don't lift the lid for 3 minutes, then remove the lid and stainless steel bowl with the coal.
  • Let it marinate overnight in refrigerator.
  • The next morning, take it out of the refrigerator.
  • Dip the wooden stick for few minutes in water.

Grill the Bihari Kababs

  • Turn on the grill, let it heat up on high flame, and spray some olive oil on the grill so the kabab won't stick to the grill.
  • Place the skewers on the grill on medium flame.
  • The skewers should be charred and cooked in 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Turn the skewers on the other side once one side is tender and charred. As you turn the skewer on the other side that isn't done yet spray the olive oil before turning.
  • Take off the grill.
  • Sprinkle some chaat masala, fresh lemon juice, and onions on top.
  • Pair it up with green chutney.
  • Enjoy!
