Ingredients
No main ingredients listed.
Kebabs
- 14 oz black chickpeas (kala chana)
- 1/2 cup onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup coriander leaves
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- salt, to taste
- 1 tbsp oil
Garlic Yogurt Sauce
- 7 1/10 oz plain yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- 11. Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of oil.
- 22. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent and soft.
- 33. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt; cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- 44. Add the cooked black chickpeas to the skillet, breaking them up slightly with a spoon, then fold in the chopped coriander leaves.
- 55. Mash the mixture gently with the back of a spoon or a potato masher until it holds together as a thick, cohesive mixture (about 2 minutes).
- 66. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for 2 minutes so it can be shaped more easily.
- 77. With damp hands, shape the mixture into small patties or kebab sticks, about 2‑inch wide.
- 88. Return the skillet to medium heat, add a little more oil if needed, and place the kebabs in a single layer.
- 99. Cook the kebabs for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until they are golden‑brown and crisp on the outside and heated through.
- 1010. While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the sauce: in a bowl combine the plain yogurt, the remaining minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- 1111. Whisk the sauce until smooth and creamy; adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if desired.
- 1212. Transfer the cooked kebabs to a serving plate and let them rest for 1 minute.
- 1313. Serve the hot kebabs alongside the creamy garlic yogurt sauce, garnished with extra chopped coriander leaves if desired.
- 1414. Enjoy immediately while the kebabs are still warm and the sauce is cool.
