An all time veg favourite appetiser of mine..finally decided to have a go at it myself! Mighty pleased with the results..going to be on most of my party menus henceforth.
I used an electric tandoor for this dish, you can use whatever you use at home for baking/grilling etc..nothing better than an outdoor barbecue grill!
Ingredients
2 medium boiled potatoes,mashed
1/2 cup grated paneer
1/2 cup mixed boiled vegetables (carrot ,peas) , mashed
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 chopped green chillies
salt to taste
For the dry paste
1 tablepsoon khus khus (poppy seeds)
3 tablespoons besan
1 tablespoon shahi jeera
1 badi elaichi
2 green elaichi
1 teaspoon chaat masala
To serve
Green chutney
Chat masala
1. Pre-heat oven to 250 deg Celcius or tandoor.
2. Dry roast the paste ingredients on a tawa on a medium flame till the besan turns into a medium brown color (or when you can smell the roasted besan )
2. Cool and grind into a fine powder
3. Add the paste to other ingredients and mix well.
4. Divide into small balls.
5. Take the kabab wooden sticks and grease each one lightly.
6. Place the mixture ball on your palm, flatten slightly . Press the stick onto the mxiture. Then close the mixture around the stick and using both hands spread the mixture along the length of the stick taking care not to let it break..can take a little pratice!
7. Spread the sticks onto the greased tray of the oven/tandoor and brush the top with oil/butter.
8. Bake till it looks like a tandoori dish :) (slighylty charred ) ..time depends on the heat and temperature settings of your tandoor/grill/oven
9. Remove from the sticks with a fork and cut into finger sized pieces and serve hot !
