Quick Masoor Dal (Red Lentil) Kebab

Ingredients

1. One cup masoor dal (red lentil)
2. 1 teaspoon ginger-green chili-garlic paste
3. 1/2 cup grated unsalted cottage cheese (paneer)
4. 1 onion finely chopped
5. 1 teaspoon mint leaves finely chopped
6. 1 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
7. 2 teaspoon bread crumbs
8. 1 teaspoon gram flour (besan)
9.  Salt to taste
10.  Oil for frying

Method

   First, soak red lentil for 2 hours in water.  Then cook in cooker up to three whistles. Once the cooker cools down, open and check whether the red lentil is well-cooked or not.  After confirming that the red lentil is cooked, remove it in a bowl.  Add ginger-green chili-garlic paste, grated unsalted cottage cheese (paneer), finely chopped onion, salt, mint, and coriander to the cooked red lentil and mash nicely.  Lastly, add gram flour (besan) and knead lightly.  Make small kebab pieces.  In a plate, add bread crumbs and role kebab over bread crumbs so as to coat each kebab piece nicely.  In a bowl-shaped frying pan (karahi), heat oil on medium flame.  Fry kebabs in heated oil till they turn golden brown from both sides.  Remove fried kebabs and place them on a paper napkin so as to absorb excess oil.  Serve red lentil (masoor dal) kebab with chutney or sauce.
