Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 30 | Total Time: 35 min

Serves: 10-12 kababs

Ingredients:

1.5 cups green moong dal, soaked overnight

½ cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped

¼ cup mint leaves

2 medium onion

8-9 cloves of garlic

1-inch ginger

2-3 green chillies

1.5 tbsp yogurt

½-1 cup roasted besan

2 tsp roasted cumin seeds, crushed

2 tsp roasted coriander seeds, crushed

2 tsp garam masala powder

1 tsp red chilli powder

Salt to taste

Aam ka achar or mango pickle, as required

Ghee for frying

Method:

Rinse green moong dal with water. Take a large bowl, add the dal and fill it with water. Soak it overnight.

Note: Always choose a large bowl to soak the dal. As it will absorb water and expand. After soaking 1.5 cups of dal, you will get approximately 3-3.5 cups of dal.

In a food processor jar, add moong dal, coriander leaves, mint leaves, onion, garlic, ginger, green chillies, yogurt, besan, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garam masala, red chilli and salt.

Grind to make a semi-smooth paste.

Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Note: If the mixture feels too wet/moist, add roasted besan and mix well. Here I have added around 1 cup of besan.

Grease your palm with ghee. Take a little dal mixture (around ⅓ cup), flatten it on your palm and add 1 tsp mango pickle at the centre. Seal it. Make all the kebabs in the same manner.

Heat ghee in a pan over medium flame.

Add the kebabs. Shallow fry until both sides are golden in colour.

Serve them hot with green chutney and achari onions.
