Ginger-garlic paste β 1 tsp

(These are subtle β Welza Rajma Masala already contains much of this.)
π©π³ Instructions
1. Mash the Base
In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled rajma and potato thoroughly until smooth.
Ensure no excess water β the dough should be dry and firm.
2. Add Flavors
Mix in: chopped onion, green chilli, ginger-garlic paste, mint (optional), Welza Rajma Masala, salt, and roasted besan.
Combine well into a soft, tight dough. Adjust binding with more besan if needed.
3. Shape the Kebabs
Lightly grease your palms.
Shape into flat, round kebabs (about 2 inches in diameter).
Chill in the fridge for 10β15 minutes (optional, for firmer texture).
4. Cook the Kebabs
Heat ghee or oil on a non-stick pan or tawa.
Shallow fry kebabs on medium heat until golden brown and crisp on both sides (about 3β4 minutes per side).
π Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with green chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges.
Great as an evening snack, starter, or stuffed into pita wraps or sliders.
π‘ Pro Tips
Make sure rajma is completely drained or air-dried before mashing. Moisture will cause breakage.
Use ghee for frying for an authentic galouti flavor.
Add smoked coal dhungar if desired for a tandoori, meaty aroma.
