September rains is here and hot coffee with home cooked snacks on a rainy day is always great.. It has been raining cats and dogs since the last 48 hrs and there is no question of going out for a walk or moving out elsewhere. So, off to the kitchen to do my favourite exercise.... the exercise of cooking something scrumptious for my family to be enjoyed together in such a lovely weather. A quick recap in my mind of what is in stock that can be cooked and I remembered the Arbi(Colocasia) which I had boiled and kept in the fridge last night. That's it... my rainy day snack is going to be Arbi Kabab. I took the arbi out, pealed it's skin and kept it aside as I checked on all the other ingredients needed for it. Mint leaves not in the fridge... so went upstairs to my terrace garden to get a handful of fresh mint leaves. Got drenched in the rain but it was worth it as my Kabab turned out to be Lajawab!
Ingredients :
Arbi - 300 gms..boiled, pealed and mashed.
Mint leaves - a handful finely chopped
Green Chiles - 4 finely chopped
Ginger - 1" piece grated.
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Salt - according to taste
Oil for shallow frying the kababa
Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Chicken masala - 2 tsp (can use Chaat masala or Kitchen king or Fish masala. Each masala will give a different flavour to your kababs)
.
Method :
In a bowl mash the colocasia. Add all the ingredients and mash well so as everything gets evenly mixed. Grease your palm with a little oil and roll into small balls. Once done, flatten each ball by pressing it between your palms. Heat a pan with some oil in it. Place the flattened kababs in it and fry in medium heat. Flip the kabas over and fry until both sides are golden brown. Your kabas are ready. Serve hot with chopped onions and mint leaves.
