Dahi Kabab

This was sounding little weird to me when I first heard about dahi kabab on a TV show. Out of excitement , I typed the recipe in short in my mobile phone and saved it. But never bothered to open it out and try my hands on this recipe until recently one day I found lot of yoghurt lying inside my refrigerator and did not want to have it with roti which is a regular meal for me - roti with dahi :(
Sharing this recipe with you which comes out quite tasty and melt in mouth experience. A good snack during the summer season.

Ingredients:

Hung curd: 1/2 cup

Grated Paneer : 1cup

Besan : 4-5 tbsp.

Corn flour: 2 tbsp.

Garam Masala: 1tsp

Fried onions: 1/3 cup

Chilli powder: 1tsp

Coriander leaves chopped: 1 tbsp

Few chopped chillies: 1 or 2(optional)

Salt as per taste

Chopped cashews: 2 tbsp

Raisins: 2 tbsp

Bread crumbs for rolling the kababs

Oil for shallow frying

Method:

In a mixing bowl, take paneer, hung curd, besan, corn flour, salt, Garam masala, chilli powder, chopped coriander, chopped chillies, chopped cashews, raisins and mix well. After mixing all the ingredients check if they are binding enough to make small portions/balls out of it. If not you can add some more besan or some bread crumbs to this but not too much. Add the fried onions and mix well. Now take small portions and gently press between your palms to give the shape of a kabab and make kababs out of the whole mixture. Spread the bread crumbs in a dish and roll the kababs one by one on the bread crumbs and keep aside on a plate. Keep these kababs in refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to set.

Take a frying pan and heat oil for shallow frying the kabab. After 15 minutes, take the kababs out of the refrigerator and fry them on both sides till they reach golden brown colour. Serve these fried kababs hot with mayonnaise,tomato ketchup & mustard sauce dip or any green chutney.
