How to make Dahi ke Kebab:

1. Take a mixing bowl. Add hung curd, roasted gram flour, onions, green chillies, ginger, coriander leaves, cumin powder, ground black pepper, garam masala powder and salt. Mix well and keep aside
2. Heat a non-stick pan or a tawa. Pour a few drops of oil. Now take a portion from the mix, roughly give it a round shape and place on the tawa. It will be tricky as the mix is soft so don’t bother on getting the perfect shape, simply take a portion and place it on the pan
3. Fry until golden brown then flip and cook in the similar way. Your Dahi ke Kebab is ready
4. Serve hot with chutney. Tastes best when fresh and hot.
