Instructions
 

Daal Kababs:

  • Combine all the ingredients from the Daal through to the ½ cup onion in a pot, bring to a boil and simmer until the daal is cooked through. This takes 35-45 minutes but requires no active cooking.
  • Turn up the heat and dry the daal up until the moisture is completely gone.
  • Run your onion, chili, cilantro, and mint through a food processor (or chop finely)
  • Remove the herby mix and replace it with the daal, pureeing until a thick shapeable mixture forms.
  • Add the chopped mix from earlier, a squeeze of lemon juice, pulse a few times and adjust for seasoning.
  • Shape into 16 kababs or according to the size of your buns.
  • Whip your eggs well to give them some body, dip each kabab in the eggs and fry for 1.5-2 minutes on each side on medium heat, pressing lightly.

Imli Chutney:

  • Blend all the ingredients in a blender, adjust for seasoning.

Green Chutney:

  • Blend all the ingredients (but only 2 tbsp yoghurt) in a blender. Once it's combined whisk the other two tbsp in with a fork, adjust for seasoning.

Assembly:

  • Heat your bans on a hot pan on both sides, lightly greasing the pan if needed
  • Place a dollop of imli chutney on the bottom bun, place the kabab, then the onions, then the green chutney and the top bun.
