Description
Oil-free Chana Corn Kebabs are melt-in-your-mouth good with a creamy texture and flavours ranging from savoury, sour to a little bit smoky.Â
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiled black chickpeas or kala chana
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 4–5 cloves of garlic, finely diced or crushed
- A handful of coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup boiled sweet corn kernels
Instructions
- First, in a mixing bowl, add boiled chana (chickpeas) and mash them well using a masher or any big spoon or fork. The boiled chana should be mashed properly.
- Then, add diced onion, garlic, and chopped coriander and mix.
- Next, add in all the spices and salt mentioned in the ingredients list.
- Then, add the boiled sweet corn and mix.
- Further, make small balls out of the mixture and flatten them on both sides like a kebab shape.
- Finally, on a non-stick flat pan, bake them on both sides until they are golden brown. Don’t flip them often in order to avoid breaking.
Notes
I suggest you always serve these kebabs with a nice and juicy chutney as by themselves they might feel a bit dry due to being oil-free.
