BM # 13 Day 7
Today being the last of this marathon,I am moving from my kitchen to a hotel’s kitchen.This is to show you the preperation of the kebabs in a big clay oven.This oven needs about 10 kgs of coal and takes about an hour to get ready.Once well lit it goes on for about 5 hours.The intensity of the heat, naturally goes down with time.That is the time when those daals are kept to cook.Coming back to kebabs….today ‘s menu has Hara Bhara Kebab.These kebabs are made on the long seekhs…rods.
½ cup………. blanched spinach
½ cup ……….boiled mixed vegetables
½ cup……….. boiled raw bananna
½ cup……….. grated paneer
1tbsp …………ginger garlic paste
1tsp …………..green chilly paste
2tbsp….…… .daalia pwd
2tbsp …….….peanuts coarsely crushed
1tsp .…….……kasoori methi
1tsp ……………chaat masala
½ tsp………… garam masala
½ tsp…….….. dhaniya pwd
½ tsp………… red chilly pwd
Coriander leaves
Salt to taste
Chop the blanched spinach very finely.Squeeze excess water.
Chop the boiled vegetables also very finely.Squeeze excess water.
Mix all the above ingredients and form a dough.
Shape into long kebabs with wet hands on these seekhs.
The even texture is done with rubbing the kebab gently with wet hands.
Place in the clay oven.check after 10 minutes.
Reverse the seekh and cook the other side.
Place the front of the seekh under water.
Rotate and remove the kebab.
Cut into pieces.
Serve in a chafing dish with some live coal.
This same kebab dough can be used to make shallow fried or deep fried Kebabs .
For deep fried version first test check the kebab,if it breaks then add extra dalia pwd or bread crumbs.
Serve with mint chutney and tandoori salad.
