Hare Chane Aur Palak Ke Sheekh Kebab (Green gram and Spinach kebab)

IMAG0277

Kebab is an Arabic word. It is a dish in which small pieces of meat is cooked on skewers along with some cut vegetables like onion, tomatoes, bell peppers etc. These are then cooked on a grill or a barbeque. Sheekh Kebab is a dish where usually  a mixture of minced meat (usually lamb) , garlic, chilli, some spices is thinly wrapped around the skewers and is grilled in a tandoor. The kebabs are crisp from outside and soft, moist, and juicy from inside. But now many variations of kebabs are made . They are made from different types of meat, seafood and also vegetables. These are popular during winter . They can be prepared in advance for any barbeque party and then can be cooked on a barbeque outside during the party. It can become a group activity in a party. They need to be cooked on a slow heat so that the spices taste well and mix with the mixture.

 

Today I am sharing with you my version of sheekh kebab and it is made of green winter vegetables. It is full of flavors and contains fresh winter vegetables such as green gram, spinach, fenugreek, fresh green garlic, mint and coriander. I have added paneer to it which really gives it a very smooth and melting-in-the-mouth effect.

With some pre-preparations done, these kebabs can rock the party. They are popular at my home and among friends too.

I generally do the pre-prepartion steps such as blanching and making spinanch paste; grinding the gram; boiling the green grams and making paste of it; washing and cutting finely all the other greens such as green galic, fenugreek leaves,mint and coriander.

This makes the process much simpler. They go well with any chutney, soup or salad.

Give it a sure try and your family will be in love with them. These Kebabs are diabetic friendly with all the fresh greens put in it and very rich in fibre and iron. they are best for growing kids too.
