Sheek Kebab

Notes:

  • The original recipe calls for massor dal instead of moong dal,I tried it with moong dal.
  • Also the original recipe ask you to deep fry. You can either deep fry or bake it. If you dont have oven also you can try it on grill pan,stove top method too!
  • You can use ginger garlic paste too insted grinding it along with the dal.
  • Gulnar means ‘soft’ and the kebabs really do justice to the name –its very soft inside and crisp outside…
  • As I am making for the fist time,please dont mind the uneven shapes ..hehe
  • I made less quantity than the mentioned recipe above.
