- For the kebabs, soak several small wooden skewers in cold water for 10 minutes.
- For the marinade, mix all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Set aside for 2-3 hours, at room temperature, then transfer to the fridge for 5-6 hours.
- For the kebabs, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a casserole until smoking. Add the marinated mutton to the pan, in batches if necessary, and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until browned all over.
- Once all of the meat is browned, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chill, ginger, garlic and coriander. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Fill a frying pan with enough vegetable oil to reach 1.5cm/¾in up the side of the pan and heat until hot.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate. Skewer the mutton pieces onto small wooden skewers and dredge in the flour, then dip into the beaten egg until the mutton is well coated in the egg.
- Carefully lower the kebabs into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and cooked through. Remove the kebabs from the pan and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.
- For the cachumber, mix all of the cachumber ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
- To serve, pile the mutton kebabs onto a serving plate and serve the cachumber alongside.
