Instructions
Preparation
Wash the chana dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 2-3 hours.
Drain the soaked dal and boil it with just enough water until soft but not mushy. Drain excess water and allow the dal to cool completely.
Cooking Steps
In a blender, coarsely grind the boiled chana dal. Do not make it into a paste; the texture should be slightly grainy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chana dal, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, coriander leaves, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, gram flour. Mix everything well to form a dough-like consistency.
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into flat, round kebabs.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the kebabs until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and place them on a plate.
Serve hot.
