Spicy, hearty, and melt-in-the-mouth, these delicious kebabs are so easy to make that you will be hooked. That's why I call them Easy Kathal Kebabs. They are perfect for any party or get-together and everyday eating. Vegan and gluten-free, these kebabs are ideal for picnics and lunch boxes.
Why do we love these Easy Kathal Kebabs?
They are just delicious. Do we need some additional reason for making them? Okay, in that case, they are easy; they take just a few ingredients and can be made in 45 minutes (a big batch).
They are Awadhi-style Kathal ke Kebab, a vegetarian version of shami kebab. Famous Awadh kebabs are a delight; no one can escape their charm. They can be eaten as a snack, appetizer, or meal with roomali roti or Tikona paratha.
What Ingredients are needed for this delicious Kebab?
Jackfruit—Raw jackfruit is the main ingredient of this kebab. You can get fresh raw jackfruit in the veggie market in India for a few months. It is considered a delicacy in North India.
Here in the USA, we get frozen or canned Jackfruit. I prefer canned raw jackfruit because it has the same texture as fresh ones. Making curries and kebabs with it is easy, and it tastes better. However, personal opinions vary for different people.
Roasted Gramflour or Sattu - Both will work, but I used sattu in this kebab and prefer to do that because it saves a lot of time (when you roast gram flour ), and sattu is a superfood that adds a lot of protein to your food.
Spice Powders-
Garam Masala Powder, Coriander Powder, Fennel Powder, Amchoor powder(dry mango powder).
Aromatics- Ginger, garlic, green chili, and onion.
Herbs- Freshly chopped mint and cilantro.
How to serve?
If you serve them as an appetizer or snack, serve them hot with green mint-cilantro chutney, sliced onion, and lime wedges.
Serving them as a main course is easy; use roomali roti,laccha paratha, Tikona paratha, or naan with them. They can also be used to make a Kathi roll or wrap. They are perfect for any party, picnic, or lunch box.
How can we cook them?
I cooked them on a flat grill with some ghee. I brushed ghee on the kebabs and cooked them on both sides until golden brown. I did this on a slow flame. They will not get crispy in texture. Instead, melt-in-mouth is the right texture for these kebabs.
