Veg Shami Kabab
A kabab with pedigree — smoky edges, a spoon-soft centre, and the kind of aroma that empties the room into the kitchen. Gives you a proper meal in 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
- Garam Masala1 tsp
- Saltto taste
- Soya Chunks1.5 cups, boiled
- Gram Flour2 tbsp, roasted
- Yellow Split Peas1/2 cup
Optional extras
- Green Chili1
- Fresh Cilantro1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the base — mince, mash or grate so everything binds evenly.
- 2
Mix in the aromatics, spices and roasted gram flour; knead 3-4 minutes until it feels cohesive.
- 3
Rest the mix 30 minutes in the fridge — cold kebabs hold their shape.
- 4
Shape around skewers or as patties with wet hands.
- 5
Cook over high heat (grill or heavy pan) turning only twice, until charred outside and just cooked within.
- 6
Rest 3 minutes, then serve with onion rings, lemon and mint chutney.
Chef's tip
Wet hands, firm pressure — air pockets make kebabs crumble.
