Equipment

OTG

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Kale Chane/brown chickpeas/Bengal gram soaked overnight
  • 1 big onion roughly chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • a piece of ginger
  • 1 green chili seeds removed and roughly chopped
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp Chaat masala or juice of a lemon
  • a pinch of Garam masala
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander/cilantro leaves
  • Oil for brushing

Instructions

Boil Chane

  • Boil or pressure cook kale chane in 1½ cup of water with salt for 10-15 minutes or 4-5 whistles till they are soft.
  • Let it cool down completely. Drain the chana and keep the water aside.
  • Don’t throw away this water. You can drink this as soup or add this to curries.

To make Patties

  • In a food processor, combine the drained chane, onions, green chilies, ginger, and garlic.
  • Process it until smooth. You can keep the mixture a little coarse also.
  • Take it out in a bowl. Add chopped coriander leaves, red chili powder, chaat masala and mix everything.
  • Taste and check if more salt is required.
  • scoop up a spoonful of mixture in your hands and shape it into Patties of desired size and shape. Place all patties on a plate and keep in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • This is an optional step but I have found this to be helpful before baking.

For Baking

  • Preheat the oven at 200 C. Brush the baking sheet with olive oil. Place all the patties on it. Brush the top of the patties with olive oil.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes flipping the patties halfway. It should be perfectly crisp on both sides. Serve Kale Chane Kebab hot with green chutney or ketchup.
