About:

Kebabs are one among favourite plethora of other Indian appetizers, which is simple and soothing to eat. Here I choosed sweet potatoes and vegetables. These kebabs were bit crunchy flavourful exterior with a soft, wonderfully textured inside that would make you fall in love instantly. A dash of garam masala spice and tasty peas kicks up the flavor and texture in these meatless patties.

Typically kebabs are deep fried  and oily makes it high calorie dish. I think the base ingredients helped plus pan- frying only the tops in coconut oil.

This can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Yields: 8-10 kebabs
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 8-10 minutes (per batch)

Ingredients:

• Boiled Sweet potato-2medium
• Finely chopped onion-1small
• Finely chopped green beans-8-10
• Grated carrot-1medium
• Finely chopped cabbage-1/2cup
• Frozen peas-1/4cup
• Fennel seeds-1tsp
• Chaat masala-1/2tsp
• Chilli powder-1tsp
• Grated ginger-1tsp
• Minced garlic-3cloves
• Salt- to taste
• Oil- 2tsp+for shallow frying

Procedure:

• In a mixing bowl mash the boiled sweet potatoes and set aside.
• Heat oil in a pan add fennel seeds, ginger, garlic and sauté for few seconds.
• Add onion and saute until translucent, add finely chopped/grated veggies (beans, carrot, cabbage) and saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Add chilli powder, chaat masala, salt, mashed sweet potatoes mix well until blends with the veggies.
• Turn off the flame and allow the mixture to cool a bit.

For the kebabs:

• Divide the mixture to 10-12 equal portions and roll them between your palms to make a long elongated kebab.
• Now heat a non-stick tawa/griddle and place the kebabs 3-4 at a time and cook all four sides on a medium low flame (each side take 2-3 minutes so approx.-10-12 minutes).
• Once cooked all over- serve hot with salads, dips.

Note:

• Spices and combination of veggies can be personalised as per the taste.
• Make sure to cook all sides for even cooking and on a medium low flame (I flattened each side and cooked). Cooking on a high flame cooks from outside and leaves the inner surface soft and uncooked.
• This can also be baked or deep fried.
• For baking cook in the pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes flipping halfway at 200deg C.
