Ingredients
Kabab Mixture
- 4 Bananas raw
- 1/2 tsp Ginger grated
- 1 tsp Coriander ground
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom ground
- 2 Chilies chopped, green
- 1 tbsp Coriander chopped, fresh
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 4 tbsp Corn Flour
Coating
- 2 tbsp Semolina
Frying
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash the raw bananas. Boil them in a pressure cooker until tender.
- Once the bananas are cool enough to handle, peel and mash them thoroughly.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed banana, grated ginger, ground coriander, red chili powder, ground cardamom, chopped green chilies, chopped fresh coriander, lemon juice, salt, and corn flour. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Shape the banana mixture into flat, round patties of medium thickness. This will ensure they cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Coat each patty with semolina. This adds a delightful crunch.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the kababs until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through.
- Remove the kababs from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, lightly coat the shaped kababs with a mixture of corn flour and rice flour before shallow frying.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute corn flour with chickpea flour (besan).
- To add tanginess, mix in a teaspoon of dry mango powder (amchur) or a squeeze of lime juice before shaping the kababs.
- If making ahead, shape the kababs and refrigerate them (unfried) for up to 24 hours; fry just before serving.
Expert Tips
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the kababs. Fry in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- For a smokier flavor, try grilling the kababs instead of frying. Be sure to oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking.
- Serve these kababs with a side of mint-coriander chutney and a wedge of lime for a refreshing and flavorful meal.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover kababs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or air fryer for best results.
