Veg Shammi Kabab with green Chutney

Shammi Kabab and Veg!!! 

Even I raised my brows as I read the name of the dish in Bongcomb’s blog, but I should say that the whole recipe was indeed appealing.  It was on my mind to make some chatpata  veg starter and what best it could be than trying out these veg kababs!!!

The ingredients of this dish are quiet simple and almost available at home, readily I decided to make it last night. The outcome is a healthy and tasty dish, loved by all including R. Moreover, I did not have to spend more than 15 minutes to complete the dish.

For all those you want the original recipe here it is

I have made some very minor changes. Here is my version:

Ingredients

Soya granules 1 cup
2 tablespoon of besan ( chickpea flour)
Ginger paste 1 table spoon
Garlic Paste 1 table spoon
Salt to taste
½  teaspoon turmeric
½  teaspoon Red chilli powder
½  teaspoon jeera ( cumin ) powder
½  tablespoon plain yoghurt
1 ½  teaspoon Everest Tandoori Chicken Masala powder*
½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
1 tablespoon oil

Method                                                                                                                               

Soak the soya granules in 1 cup of warm water for about half an hour. Check if they are soft in texture.

Drain out the excess water. Do not squeeze out the water from the granules.

In a bowl with the soya granules mix all the ingredients one by one other than the oil.

At the time of mixing all the ingredients

Make small balls out of the mix and flatten it with your palm to give it the shape of the Kabab.

Heat a tawa or flat skillet, brush it with oil and shallow fry the kebabs on both sides till the color turns golden.  

Kababs on the Tawa (not a good picture though!!!)

Serve hot with green chutney and onions.

The final thing...

This time I made some variation with the chutney as well. For the chutney:

1 Bunch of coriander washed and roughly chopped.
1 green chili
1 table spoon yoghurt
Salt to taste

Blend or grind all the ingredients in a blender or chutney grinder till smooth.
