Add red pepper powder and capia peppers ground with a butcher knife and knead the mixture.

Take pieces of the minced meat mixture large enough to fill the palm of your hand, and skewer them. Moisten your palm with water occasionally so that it does not stick to your hands. The minced meat on the skewer should be the same thickness in every part.
Place tomato and pepper slices on the other skewers.
Cook until the outside color turns dark, but without getting dry.
Meanwhile, chop the onions to be served with it and flavor them with sumac.
Place the lavash on the serving plate first, and place the cooked meat on it.

Expert Tips

When buying minced meat from the butcher, make sure that it is thick ground meat.
When attaching the kebabs to the skewers, pinching the ends will prevent the kebabs from falling off.
To make Adana kebab, you should use 300–350 grams of tail fat for 1 kilo of minced meat.
While cooking, taking care to ensure that the kebabs do not dry out and remain juicy will make your kebabs more delicious.
You can also buy tail fat from the butcher to grease the grill. This will help the kebab cook better and add more flavor to the kebab.
Place a baking tray in the compartment under the grill. This way, you can collect the fat from the meat on the tray.
To enrich the dish, you can arrange tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants on the grill.
When the meat is close to being cooked, you can put lavash on it to warm it up.
