Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the hung curd, roasted chickpeas, ginger-green chili paste, salt, red chili powder, garam masala, and chopped cilantro.
  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  • Spread the corn flour on a plate. Lightly coat your hands with corn flour to prevent sticking.
  • Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a round kawab. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Gently place the kawabs in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Shallow fry the kawabs for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Turning ensures even cooking.

  • Serve the Dahi Ke Kawab hot with your favorite chutney.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Instead of roasted chana powder, you can use roasted besan (gram flour).
  • For extra creaminess and a richer mouthfeel, mix in a tablespoon of grated paneer or khoya into the kebab mixture before shaping.
  • If you find the mixture too soft to shape, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes to firm up the hung curd.
  • For a smoky flavor, briefly smoke the shaped kebabs using the dhungar method with hot charcoal and ghee before pan-frying.
  • Serve atop thinly sliced onions and sprinkle with chaat masala for an authentic street-style presentation.

Expert Tips

  • Don't overmix the kebab mixture, as this can make the kebabs tough.
  • For even cooking, ensure the kebabs are of uniform size and thickness.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on the heat of your stove and the desired level of browning.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover kebabs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
