This is the vegetarian version of a Shammi Kebab. A word of caution to those who have not handled yam before: Oil your hands before handling them coz they cause skin irritation. Ingredients:
500 grams yam- peeled and cut into cubes |
6 cloves of garlic |
green chilies- as many as you want |
ginger-1 inch |
a small bunch of cilantro |
turmeric powder -1/4 tsp |
1/2 tsp cumin seeds |
3 tsp lemon juice |
2 tsp cumin powder |
4 tsp coriander powder |
1/2 tsp garam masala powder |
1 tsp chili powder |
bread crumbs |
salt to taste |
*(pepper,cloves,cinnamon,cardamom makes a basic one. add nutmeg/mace/star anise, etc. if you're in the mood/have the ingredients/ have the patience/ have the time) |
Directions:
1. Boil yam with turmeric and water till it's fully cooked (Use a pressure cooker, saves time). Drain water completely.
2. Chuck the remaining ingredients (except the bread crumbs) in a food processor till it forms a mush.
3. Now would be the time to check if you've got your seasoning right....
4. Add enough bread crumbs to bind this mix.
5. Roll out the mixture into small balls and flatten them with the help of your palms.
6. Shallow fry in oil till both sides are golden brown.
7. Serve with Mint & Yogurt dip. I just use ketchup.
