Vegetarian Seekh Kebab

Seekh Kebab is usually prepared with minced meat. I wanted to try out a vegetarian version of the famous mughalai seekh kebab. Si I replaced minced meat with minced spoy granules and tofu. The binding ingredient was besan in this recipe. The kebabs were vrispy and delicious. I made some rolls with the kebab, onion salad and chapathi. They were very nice. I also prepared a gravy with two kebabs and that went very well with rotis. Today is the final day of Blogging Marathon and I really enjoyed the 14 days of fun.


Ingredients:
Soya Granules-50gm
Tofu-100gm
Cream-1tbs
Garam Masala-1/4tsp
Cashew Nuts(chopped)-2tsp
Red Chilly Powder-3/4tsp
Turmeric Powder-1/4tsp
Dry Ginger Powder-1/4tsp
Garlic Powder-1/4tsp
Onion-1 small
Besan-1/3cup
Salt-to taste

Procedure:
1. In a bowl, crumble tofu.
2. Soak soay granules in hot water for 15minutes.
3. Wash and drain water.
4. Mince it in a mixer grinder.
5. Add the minced soy to the bowl along with tofu.
6. Add all the spices.
7. Add besan, cream and salt.
8. Mix to form a crumbly dough.
9. Shape kebabs on skewer rods. I got 4 1/2 kebabs with this quantity of ingredients.
10. Preheat oven to 250C.
11. Place the kebabs on a wire tray and brush with oil.
12. Bake for 30 minutes or until well browned.
13. Serve hot.

Kebab Roll:
I served it as a roll with a chapathi and onion salad.
For The Onion Salad:
Onion-1
Curd-4-5tbs
Salt-to taste
Pepper Powder-1/2tsp
Coriander Leaves-2tsp
Chaat Masala-1/4tsp

Mix all the ingredients and use. Place a chapathi on a plate, add 3tbs of the salad in the middle of the chapathi, place a kebab on the salad and roll. Serve immediately.



I also prepared a gravy with remaining two rolls. That went well with rice. We enjoyed the treat thoroughly.
