HIGH-PROTEIN DAL KE KEBAB

Don't we all love kebabs?, I certainly do but it was restricted to Non-veg kebabs only, till I tried these! My husband hates chana dal but if I make these kebabs out of it...he will gobble up at least a dozen!

These are also great for finicky kids and pretty nutritious too,you can sneak in that spinach too!!

chana dal kebabs

Ingredients-

  • Chana dal-250gms
  • Spinach-1 bunch (washed and chopped)
  • Ginger paste-1 tsp
  • Garlic paste-1 tsp
  • Garam masala-1/2 tsp
  • Roasted zeera powder-1/2 tsp
  • Dry coriander powder-1/2 tsp
  • Fresh coriander leaves-1 bunch
  • Onion -1 large (chopped)
  • Mint leaves- a handful
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Slice of bread-1
  • Breadcrumbs

Method-

Wash chana dal well, add water just enough to cook the dal add ginger garlic and all the spices and give 5-6 whistles in a pressure cooker.Let pressure drop by itself,mash the dal well in the cooker itself,or in a mortar,add the rest of the ingredients and mix well,shape into kebabs and either roll in breadcrumbs or in plain flour,shallow fry and serve piping hot with tomato ketchup and fresh mint chutney.

These kebabs are on their way to 1. JFI - Chickpea hosted by Sometime Foodie,2. EFM - Savouries - Srilekha,3. FIC - Yellow by Sunshinemom
