Recipe- Easy To Make Kale Chane Kebab

It’s a yummy nutritious snack filled with the benefits of kale chane. These are really easy to make and taste incredible. I have baked these to cut down on oil and the black chickpea kebabs turned out very crispy and yummy. These make a perfect party appetizer and a high protein evening snack for kids. You can use these to make wraps also.

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

Method

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.
