- First add chopped carrot, saute for 4-5 minutes then add beans and peas. Next add turmeric. Saute until the raw smell is gone and vegetables are cooked.
- The vegetables shouldn't be too dry. It should retain little bit of moister in it.
- Cool down and grind to a coarse paste ( We don't need a fine paste here neither any big chunks).
- In another dry pan roast besan / gram flour until it is fragrant, light golden brown in color and no raw smell is there.
- In a big bowl add grated panner, mashed potato, vegetable paste and all other remaining ingredient. Give it a good mix.
- Divide the mixer into 8- 10 equal portions. Skewer the kebabs onto oiled skewers and grill or roast till the outside is nicely browned.
Notes
Notes:
- Baste frequently with oil while grilling.The consistency of mixture is very important. If it is too dry or too wet, the mixture will not stick to the skewer.
- I used grill pan to grill alternatively it can be baked in pre-heated oven at 180 degree for 10-12 mins turning in between.
- It is ideal to use flat skewers. I didn't have any so used the normal thin round skewer.
- If you find it difficult to skewer it, then don't worry you can make them as 'tikkis' (circular paties) as well.
