Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Green chili
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Soak 1 cup of chickpeas in water overnight, then drain and rinse them.
Peel and cube 2 medium potatoes, then boil them until soft.
In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, boiled potatoes, 1 medium chopped onion, 2 green chilies, 1 tablespoon of ginger garlic paste, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder, 0.5 cup of fresh cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Process the mixture until it forms a smooth dough-like consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add 0.5 cup of breadcrumbs, mixing well to incorporate.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat kebab using your palms.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the kebabs into the pan and cook them until they are golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove the kebabs from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with mint chutney or yogurt sauce.
