- 1 cup boiled corn

- 2 tsp corn kernels
- 1-2 boiled potatoes

- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper powder

- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala
- salt to taste.
Instructions
- To begin with, wash and soak chana dal for at least 1 hour.
- After that boil/steam the corn with salt, cool it. Remove the corn kernels with sharp knife. Keep the 2 tsp of whole kernels aside for later use.
- Next blend soaked, drained chana dal and remaining boiled corn to coarse paste.
- In a bowl, add the corn-chana dal paste along with chopped onions, green chillies, fresh coriander, corn kernels, boiled potatoes, breadcrumbs and ginger garlic paste.
- After that add all the dry spices - turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilli powder, pepper powder, chaat masala and salt.
- Mash & mix well. Now grease your hands with some oil & take a small portion. Shape it into kebabs as shown in the picture.
- Heat a non stick or thick bottom pan. Brush some oil, cook it by rotating all.sides till golden brown crisp from all sides.
- To give it a tandoor effect, I have cooked it on an open flame for a minute to get the smoky flavour.
- Enjoy with some mint chutney by the side.
Notes
1. You may add grated carrots also to make these kababs.
2. For binding these kababs you may use rice flour, besan (chickpea flour), rava (semolina) or tapioca starch instead of breadcrumbs for vegan options.
3. I have cooked these kebabs in a non stick pan, although you can also shallow fry them until they are evenly golden all over.
4. You may make these kababs in an Air fryer too. Or you can bake them in an OTG at 180 degrees.
For that place the kabab on a greased tray. Brush/spray some oil on the kabab. Place in a pre heated oven and bake or grill till it turns golden brown turning them in between once.
