They are excellent to serve with drinks or any of your party. The mixture can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Happy Monday Folks and here I’m yet again with another party snack and this one is another crowd-pleaser – Vegetable Kabab They are extremely popular in India, especially for weddings and parties where they are usually served in smaller sizes and always the first one to go out 😉
Ingredients for Vegetable Kabab:
Cooked Lentils Boiled Potatoes Green Peas Cauliflower Onion, Ginger, Garlic Seasoning
For the past few days, I’ve been posting about the Holi recipe (Indian festival) and a couple of you have asked me for an easy-peasy vegetarian recipe that would feed a crowd and KIDS Approved! So, that got me thinking and then I remembered these kababs which we hogged upon (as kids or adults) at Indian weddings/parties…. And these Vegetable Kabab or kebabs (as many of you may call them) came to my mind. I’ve made them a couple of times in our parties, but trust me, us being ‘snack-lovers’ it’s really hard to remember to name one at times. So, coming back to our vegetable kababs, it’s a fairly simple recipe and highly customizable. There is no ‘Must-Have’s’ in it and you can literally make one with leftovers too and that’s one of the BEST things about kababs.
For this particular recipe, we are using mixed vegetables, some cooked lentils (I’m using green grams, you can use any other lentil or totally skip this ingredient). Some spices and few glutenfree bread (as some of my friends don’t eat gluten and I’m making this for tea this weekend).
Also, to make it even easier to make, I’m dividing the recipe into 2 Major Parts and last part is divided into 2 parts (depending on the choice of cooking: frying or baking or air fryer).
Details for Cooking the Vegetable Kabab:
Fried: you need a cup of hot oil and fry 3-4 kababs at a time till they are golden and crispy. Oven-Baked: you can place 8-9 kababs in an oiled/butter or parchment paper-lined tray and bake for 15 minutes at 180C Air Fryer: you can place 3-4 kabab (depending on your air fryer basket) and air fry for 15-17 minutes at 180C. It’s really hard for me to deep fry anything, I just cannot muster that much courage to deep fry often as we donot like heavy / fried food (I always fall sick after that) and I really love to eat….. So I figured out a way to turn deep fry into something lighter. So I usually shallow fry the required recipe or figure a way to bake them (I’ve baked burger patties to kachori’s n all).
Serving the Kababs:
The vegetable kababs are really flavorful hence you don’t even need any chutney or sauce to serve it with, however, you want, you can serve any of choice. I usually serve them with Cilantro Dhanya Chutney or this Sweet-Tangy Mango Chutney. Go ahead and try these kababs and hope you enjoy them as much as we do with our friends n family.
