35 min total4 servings
Ingredients
- Semolina (rava) - 1 cup
- Milk - 1 1/2 cup
- Egg - 2 whole
- Butter - 50 g
- Cheese - 1/2 cup
- Paneer - 1/2 cup
- Carrot - 1/4 cup
- Onion - 1 whole
- Green chili - 4 whole
- Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
- Red chili powder - 3/4 tsp
- Salt, to taste
- Chicken - 1/2 cup
- Bread crumbs, as required
Instructions
- 1Toast the semolina in a dry pan over medium heat until it is just warm and fragrant, then remove from the heat.
- 2Pour in 1 1/2 cup milk and stir continuously to prevent lumps; add 1 beaten egg and 50 g butter, stir until the mixture thickens, then remove from the heat and let it cool.
- 3While the semolina cools, grate 1/2 cup cheese, 1/2 cup paneer and 1/4 cup carrot, and finely chop 1 whole onion, 4 whole green chilies and 1/4 cup coriander leaves; if your chicken is not yet minced, mince 1/2 cup chicken now.
- 4When the semolina mixture is cool, fold in the grated cheese, grated paneer, grated carrot, chopped onion, chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, 3/4 tsp red chili powder, salt to taste and 1/2 cup minced chicken until everything is evenly combined.
- 5Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a sausage-like kebab with your hands; repeat until the mixture is used.
- 6Beat the remaining egg in a shallow bowl, dip each kebab in the beaten egg, then roll it in bread crumbs to coat evenly.
- 7Carefully deep fry the kebabs in hot oil until they are golden brown and crisp, then drain on paper towels.
- 8Serve the kebabs hot with chili sauce or garlic sauce. Optional: garnish with extra coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon.
