Boil the potatoes until soft. Once they are cooled, peel and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
Finely grate the paneer and add it to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.
Grate the carrot and finely chop the bell pepper, then add them along with the green peas to the bowl.
Peel and mince the ginger and garlic, then finely chop the green chilies. Add these to the bowl.
Add gram flour, cornflour, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt into the vegetable mixture. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture feels too wet, add more gram flour to bind it.
Add chopped fresh coriander and lemon juice to the mixture, ensuring they are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Take each portion and wrap it onto a wooden skewer, pressing gently to form an even, elongated shape around the skewer.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the skewered kababs onto the pan and cook them, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp on all sides, which should take about 10–12 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels.
Serve the Vegetarian Seekh Kababs hot with mint chutney or a yogurt dip.
