Ok, SCI friends, families and enemies (doshman).
Here is the Haji's way to make a real nice and testy Kabob kobideh. I spent 
several weekends to figure out the secret of kabob and I am about to get my 
cooking degree in this area. You do not believe what I have been through for
this Kabob kobideh. My unix and C experience did not help me and just my 
attitude and hard work made it possible.
I have talked to several people to get the Kabob's recipe and I will 
outline every thing I have learned here for you. This includes what I had to 
do physicly, mentally and spiritually to cook this great Kabob. 
If you want a real and true Kabob then you have to follow my direction from
top to end. 

Make sure a few days before you think Kabob and just Kabob, tell yourself
that you are going to make it no matter what and you do not give up. 
Things you need to have for the Haji's  delicious Kabob. One big onion,
curry powder or tumering (zard chobeh), salt, pepper, and ground beef.
Tools you need to have: Grinder, gas grill, a large bowl made of glass, several 
skewers (sikh kabob), Persian music or Persian videos of your favorite singer 
(my favorite female Persian singers are: Lyla Forohar, Fattaneh and other good 
looking compatibles), bread (LAVASH), and a large plate.
The most important part is to be patient and have time. If you can not read 
all this outline then you will not be able to cook the Kabob.
Make sure that the skewers (sikh kabob) is about half an inch wide and if you
like tomatoes the skewers should be about 1/4 of an inch wide. I hope you know
where to get them.
Ok, go to the Safeway or other compatibles and get the fresh ground beef with
18 percent fat (if you like more juicy then more fat is needed). One pound of
beef should give you 8 sikh Kabobs. I assume you have all the other tools and
ingredients. 
Turn on the cassette or video player and listen to your favorite Persian music
(make sure the song does not make you sad) now that you are in the mode grind 
an onion in a glass bowl and smile or dance with music (This way your spirit is
up and it means ba_hal va sha_dy). Dump the ground beef in the bowl and add
about one spoon or more Zard_chobeh (curry powder/tumering) and some salt and
pepper. 
Now, here comes the fun part. You should be in good mode by now and you need to 
be athletic (music should have put you on your toes). One of the secret of Kabob
is to massage the whole thing at least for 35 minutes. The more you massage the 
better the Kabob you have. Your hand should be tired and you feel warm and
hungry (that is good). Make little meat balls and hold the skewer in one hand
and with your other hand try to squeeze the meat ball around the skewer. Do not
give up you need practise. Your Kabob should be not longer than 10 inches.
The other secret of Kabob kobideh is the gas grill. Let say after 30 minutes
you have about 8 sikh kabob not longer than 10 inches. Turn on the Gas grill
and you should be in your yard. Set the temperature on your gas grill on low
(you should keep it in low at all the times). Place the sikh kabobs on the
gas grill (some ingenuity is needed to hold the sikh kabob on the gas grill).
Kabobs do not like to be left alone so you should stay close to them and
turn them as often as possible. In about 30 minutes your kabobs are ready.
Take each of the sikh kabob and get them out of the sikh by your favorite  
bread (my favorite bread for kabob is LAVASH) in to a large dish.

Ok, go a head and start eating and listen to the music. It is nice when the
whole gang in your family is there and when each one says "bah, bah che kaboby"
you feel you got your cooking degree.
Another good idea is to have a tall glass of tea and then falling sleep on
the carpet.

I hope I made your day. Let me know of the out come.
