Ingredients for Dahi Ke Kabab
Dahi ke kabab is a delicious Indian vegetarian appetizer made from hung yogurt (strained yogurt) and various spices. These kababs are soft, creamy, and flavorful. Here’s a simple recipe for making dahi ke kabab:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups hung curd (strained yogurt)
- 1/2 cup crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
- 2 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
- 1/4 cup finely chopped mint leaves
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for shallow frying
- Bread crumbs (for coating)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing hung curd. To make hung curd, tie regular yogurt in a muslin cloth or a clean kitchen towel and hang it over a bowl. Let it drain for a few hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator. You should be left with thick, creamy hung curd.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the hung curd, crumbled paneer, gram flour, finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix everything well to form a smooth and uniform mixture.
- Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into flat, round kababs. You can make them as big or as small as you prefer.
- Roll the kababs in bread crumbs to coat them evenly. This helps in giving a crispy texture when you fry them.
- Heat some oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the kababs in the pan. Cook them until they are golden brown on both sides, turning them carefully.
- Remove the dahi ke kababs from the pan and place them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the dahi ke kababs hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
Enjoy your homemade dahi ke kababs as a tasty appetizer or snack. They are sure to be a hit at your next gathering or as a delightful treat for yourself!
