Nawabi kebabs
Ingredients
1/2 cup yellow channa dal, soaked
1/2 cup corn
1/4 cup shredded coconut
2 slices bread, ground to coarse breadcrumbs
1 inch ginger, minced
2-3 green chilies , minced
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
1/2 tsp black salt
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
1/4 tsp all spice powder
1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
2 tbsp coriander, finely chopped
oil , for frying
For Smoking:
1 coal
1/4 tsp ghee
Chutney:
1 cup coriander with tender stems
1/2 cup mint leaves
1 inch ginger
3 small red chillies
5 cashews
1 1/2 tbsp raisins
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp black salt
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cold water
2 tsp mustard oil
Garnish:
salad leaves
shredded coconut
pickled onions
Method
Blend together channa dal, corn and shredded coconut. Once blended, add the fresh breadcrumbs, ginger, green chili, onion and spices. Knead the dough thoroughly. If the dough feels too wet, add one more slice of coarsely ground bread. Shape the dough into a mound and create a hole in the center. On top of that hole, place a piece of onion and a hot coal. Add ghee on top of the coal and cover the entire dough so that it becomes infused with a rich, smoky flavor. Add in coriander and mix. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, divide the dough into even sized balls. Shape the balls into cylindrical shape, about 3 inches long on a wooden skewer. Heat oil. Fry the kebabs into the oil by sliding them off the skewer. Fry the kebabs three to four at a time for 3-5 minutes on medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to not overcrowd the pot. Blend all ingredients except for mustard oil and make the chutney. Lastly add in oil. Serve kebabs on a bed of salad leaves with chutney. Garnish them with shredded coconut and pickled onions.
