mixture of Chana Dal Seekh Kebabs

  3. Sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups steamed raw banana slices. The starch in raw banana helps to bind the chana dal mixture together, giving the kebabs their shape and structure. Raw banana adds moisture to the kebabs, preventing them from becoming dry and crumbly. Non jains can replace steamed raw bananas with boiled and mashed potatoes.
  5. Add 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies.
  6. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped mint leaves (phudina). Mint imparts a vibrant and fresh flavor that complements the other ingredients. The coolness of mint helps to balance the heat from the spices used in the kebabs.
