Dahi ke kabab, or yogurt kababs, are a popular vegetarian Indian appetizer made with hung curd (strained yogurt) and various spices.
Here's a simple recipe for making dahi ke kabab:
Ingredients:
2 cups hung curd (strained yogurt)
1/2 cup crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
1 tablespoon finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon chaat masala
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
Salt to taste
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Hung Curd: To make hung curd, place regular yogurt in a muslin cloth or fine sieve over a bowl. Let it drain in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight until the excess water has been drained out, leaving behind thick yogurt.Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the hung curd, crumbled paneer, chopped onions, coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger, garlic, garam masala, chaat masala, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form Kababs: Divide the mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into round or oval kababs.
Coat with Bread Crumbs: Spread the bread crumbs on a plate. Gently roll each kabab in the bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. This will help give the kababs a crispy outer layer when fried.
Fry the Kababs: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kababs in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry the kababs in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Once the kababs are fried to perfection, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
