Notes

  • Why use flour for lamb tail fat kebab?
  • Creates a crispy crust: Upon contact with fire, the flour hardens into a thin, crispy layer. It becomes crunchy on the outside while keeping the soft, melted fat inside, creating a pleasant contrast.
  • Holds salt and pepper: The flour surface helps prevent the spices from falling into the coals.
  • Reduces flare-ups and soot: Hot fat dripping heavily onto the coals causes flare-ups and soot that ruin the taste. The flour crust slows down and reduces dripping, so the fat burns less and absorbs less soot smell.
  • Maintains shape and fat: The tail fat is almost entirely fat and would simply melt and drip away over the fire without a crust. The flour crust partially "seals" the fat, preventing it from dripping away and keeping it inside longer until it melts.
