Recipes :Various Kababs

Ok Guys , as per your request.. Here goes ..:

**Aloo Kebab Recipe: **

  • Boil Four potatoes, then peel and cube them and leave them to cool a bit.
  • using a masher , mash the potatoes to a fine paste.
  • finely chop half an onion, 5 green chillies, one cup fresh corriander, half a cup of fresh methi or one cube of frozen methi , quarter spoon of garlic. Mix into the potato paste
  • Add spices: one tsp red chilli powder, one and a half tsp salt, one tsp crushed zeera, one tsp crushed corriander seeds, one tsp anardana seeds , one tsp imli sauce

Mix and keep aside for half hour. Then make round patties and dip them in egg and into the frying pan .. dont use more then one tbs of oil while frying them.

Tips:

  • While boiling potatoes , make sure they dont becme overly soft in the middle , otherwise your mixture will be too loose and you will find it dificult to make stiff kababs .
  • While mixing imli, make sure you add more of the roughage then the water. If you add water , your mixture will become too runny.
  • while frying kebabs make sure your first side of the kabab is done fully before turning it … or else they will start breaking.

**Seekh Kababs: **

Half KG Mince meat, I mix two to three tbspoons of Vinegar into it and leave it aside in a strainer for 15 minutes. Then wash it loosely with water and leave it to drain for half hour . you can leave it in the strainer and put the strainer in the fridge .

Then in a blender, add one medium sized onion, four green chillies, half cup fresh coriander, one tsp ginger paste, one and a half tsp salt, one tsp red chilli powder, half tsp crushed red chillies, one tsp crushed zeera seeds, one tsp crushed corriander seeds … give the blender a good run until everything gets blended . Dont turn it into a paste please.

finally add well drained keema into the mixture and half a egg. Give it a few good runs until the keema gets mixed with the spices. Take out and leave in the fridge for an hour . you can make kebabs immediately too , incase you are short on time.

using a wooden skewer, shape up the kebab on the skewer with your hands and then pull it off the skewer and into the frying pan. Fry each kebab on low medium heat for 5-8 minutes .. When done with kebabs , heat a coal piece , place the kebabs in a pot, place the hot coal piece on a piece of foil paper and place that into the pot on top of the kebabs, then pour one tsp oil on the coal and quickly cover the pot. Let it be on dum for a good 20 minutes. Dont light the flame under the pot. Remember the kebabs are already cooked :sahar02:

This platter has four things m chicken nuggets, potato balls, potato rose, baby tikkas. Recipes are as follows:

**Chicken Nuggets: **
**- **cut boneless chicken into bite size pieces. add one tsp yoghurt , quarter tsp salt, some black pepper,quarter tsp garlic, quarter tsp garam masala. Mix it and place this on a baking sheet and into your oven on 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

  • Then take them out and leave them to cool.
  • Take three separate plates, crack an egg in one plate. Bread crumbs in the second plate. Plain maida in the third plate. Mix dried herbs in the maida if you have some.
  • Roll a nugget in the egg, then the flour, then the egg again, flour again and finally the bread crumbs and deep fry them.

Potato Balls
Boil one potato, mash it. Mix some fresh corriander finely chopped , into the potato mixture, half tsp salt, half tsp black pepper, three tblspoons chedder cheese ( shredded) . Make balls , roll in egg and shallow fry them. let them cool. when cooled down, adjust their shape , lightly roll them in your hand to give it a round shape. Then roll them into bread crumbs and give it a quick run in the deep fryer.

Baby Tikkas
One cup mince , wash and drain well.
Slice half a onion and fry it. Let it cool. Then add in the mince mixture. Add one tsp boiled potato mixture, half tsp salt, black pepper, quarter spoon ginger
Blend it , add one tablespoon raw egg into it for binding. Mix again.

Make small balls and shallow fry them. Then cool them. Put two of them on a toothpick, add a tiny piece of red bell pepper to make it attractive for kids.

Re: Recipes :Various Kababs

How to make a potato rose, like the one I made in the kids platter pic :

Wash a potato. Dont peel it. Cut very thin slices. Upto 6 of them. Place them for a minute in boiling water. Then immediately plunge them in ice cold water for a few minutes. Then pat them dry.

Now line them up one piece over lapping the other.. and start rolling them carefully. This bit is tricky and the hardest. Once rolled, stick two toothpicks through the rose. cut the bottom flat so the rose can stand flat in the plate. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, adjust the rose petals slightly, sprinkle some oil and place it in the oven for 35 minutes.
Done. Dont forget to take out the toothpicks after the rose is baked well.

*Cucumber Rose as is shown in my kebab platter above: *
The same process, slice it as thinly as possible. Then pat dry them. Overlap each piece in a straight row. then start rolling it. cut the end flat so the rose will stand flat in the plate. dont use a toothpick for this one, otherwise your rose will slip out . just place it in your plate immediately.

You are a star!!

cant wait to try these recipes...Thank You!!

Re: Recipes :Various Kababs

thanks dear...just one question..you said Now line them up one piece over lapping the other...I dont get this...do you mean one on the top of other

2nd how do you roll it

I know my question might be very stupid but actually i just start cooking thats why its a but difficult for me to understand

how do you heat the coal?

which dried herbs do you use for the nuggets?

Re: Recipes :Various Kababs

@princess20; yes princess, I meant like put them all in a row , each piece should be half on top of the previous piece.

Start rolling it from one side , you have to practice this a few times to get it right.

no questions are stupid , I am here for individuals like yourself who are learning to cook , so feel free to ask as many questions you like :hugz:

Heating the coal is easy , follow this process:
Take a small piece of ordinary coal. Place it on your stove … you need a gas stove for this , if you dont have a gas stove then just light a candle and hold the coal on it, with a tong for a good 15 minutes. Best and the safest is the gas stove. Put the coal on the fire for 8 -10 minutes. When its hot, put a piece of bread or foil paper ,or use a glass in the degchi , put the coal in and pour one tsp of oil on the coal and immediately cover the pot. The smoke from the coal will get absorbed into the kebabs that are in the pot …

Re: Recipes :Various Kababs

I use mixed dried herbs like oregano, basil, dil and sage

Re: Recipes :Various Kababs

@diamond321; :smilestar: why would I mind you posting recipes :smilestar: sharam karo Diamond … I am infact very happy that you posted new recipes :hugz: … so keep them coming please … :lifey:

@Tabub; :smack: you have to cut the cucumber in round pieces :sahar02: like how you cut them normally … just make them as thin as possible … and rolling it is what takes practice , its definitely not easy … you have to have good control on fingers coz you will have to try and keep hold of so many pieces in place… The next time i make it , i will take some pics and post them for you .

@princess20; Shallow frying is when you use just one or two teaspoon oil to fry stuff .. for example kababs ..

Deep frying is when you use a karahi which is full of oil and you throw in the food for it to get fully fried , like french fries, pakoray etc …

  2. Take about 1 ¼ tbsp. of meat mixture in your hand. Place it in center of palm. Roll it to form a smooth ball. Flatten the ball by pressing firmly between your palms. These kabas should be a little bigger in size than usual round kababs.
  3. Heat oil in frying pan. When oil gets hot lower heat and fry kababs until well done.

Ingredients:

  • Meat, half kilo Or two cups of fine minced meat low in fat.
  • Two bulbs of fresh ginger, very fine cut.
  • One bulbs of onion average small to medium size. Spanish onions for those who do not like the pungent smell of cutting the bulb. It has to be cut very fine.
  • Zeera about one teaspoon.
  • Coriander green leaves to be cut to small pieces about ten branches of the fresh cut leaves with the stem. Crushed coriander seeds one tablespoon.
  • 4 Tomato crushed and fine cut.

  2. Start the charcoal fire or the gas grill half an hour before cooking. Cover the surface for cooking with a double layer of Aluminum foil. Perforate it with the fine fork about a small perforation per square inch. Prepare medium size Patties and smear both surface of the patties with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking and burning. Move the patties frequently and turn over when cooked. Slow cooking range for the fire is advised, well cooked or well done are every bodies favorite.
