Ingredients
- 2 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned)
- 0.5 cup Split Bengal gram (chana dal)
- 1 large Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves
- 0.25 cup Mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the split Bengal gram (chana dal) in water for at least an hour. Once soaked, drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, soaked chana dal, chopped onion, garlic cloves, ginger, and green chilies. Pulse until you achieve a coarse mixture.
Step 3
Add chopped fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice to the mixture. Process again until well combined.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into a bowl and stir in the bread crumbs until the mixture holds together.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into small, flat kebab patties. You should be able to make around 12-15 patties depending on size.
Step 6
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the kebabs in the skillet and shallow fry them until golden brown and crispy on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Vegan Shami Kebabs hot, with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
