Kathal Kebab

🇮🇳 Indian

Jackfruit kebabs, the vegetarian answer to seekh with real bite. Marinated deep and grilled hard; kebabs are patience rewarded. Serve with green chutney, onion rings and lemon.

Prep 32 min Cook 17 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Green Chili2
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Lemon1
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Jackfruit500 g, raw and cubed

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Work the marinade into the jackfruit with the gram flour — massage it like you mean it — and chill for hours, not minutes.

  2. 2

    If skewering, soak wooden skewers 30 minutes; thread the pieces snugly but not tight.

  3. 3

    Bring the meat to room temperature while the grill heats; cold centres cook unevenly.

  4. 4

    Grill till the edges catch and blacken slightly — that char is the flavour.

  5. 5

    Rest, then finish with lemon, chaat masala and the onion; serve with onion rings and mint chutney.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
