These kababs are an amazing accompaniment to Pilaus and they can easily work as a sandwich filler, or just a snack with chutneys.

INGREDIENTS

1 kg white Potatoes
1 large onion chipped very finely or grated then squeezed to get rid of excess water
4 tbsp. chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 tbsp. chopped limro leaves
3 chopped green chilies
juice of 1 lemon
1 level tsp. salt (or to taste)
1 level tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp. red chili flakes
1 tsp. coriander powder
1 tsp. cumin powder
2 tbsp. breadcrumbs or rice flour
1 tsp. soft butter
1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tbsp. water (to be used for dipping the kababs into before frying)

INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the potatoes, peel and mash them. Add in the butter followed by all the other ingredients EXCEPT the egg. Mix well.

Shape into round patties. Refrigerate for about an hour (covered with cling wrap).

Dip in beaten egg and fry until golden brown, then blot in kitchen towels.

Enjoy! :)

W/Salaam, curry leaves or curry pata. Please google the word to see images, you may recognise the pic that way.

W/Salaam, I shallow-fry them in a non-stick pan normally, but either is fine.

Salaams Fauzia,

You do not add egg to the mixture? Would the batter fall apart? Also, can we freeze these kebabs?

Thanks a million!

W/Salaam, yes I do not add egg in this kabab recipe, they don't fall apart. You can add if you like but I have a different kabab recipe that takes egg, check the one titled Ma'akouda in this same folder.

Can you freeze these and then fry up another day?

Potato dishes are best done fresh but yes you can freeze them if you like, just make sure to fry them directly from the freezer into the hot oil. If you let them thaw they will scatter in the oil.

W/Salaam, was the egg cold? Next time sprinkle some gram flour on the kababs, just a light dusting then dip in the egg and fry.
