Looking for a vegetarian starter for your next house party? Try dahi ke kebab.
250 gm yogurt, 1 ½ tbsp roasted Bengal gram (powdered), salt to taste, 2 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp green cardamom powder, ½ tsp cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp ghee, 1 onion thinly sliced, 2-3 garlic cloves, ¼ tsp clove powder
Take yogurt in a bowl, add gram powder, salt, red chilli powder, green cardamom powder, cinnamon powder and black pepper powder and mix well.
Divide into twenty equal portions and give the kebabs smooth and even shape. Heat ghee in frying pan and fry the kebabs, a few at a time, to a light golden colour. Drain and set aside.
In the same ghee, fry onion till golden brown and grind to a paste. In the ghee remaining in the pan add all the spices and salt and sauté till oil surfaces.
Add kebabs and gently mix into the masala. Serve immediately.
