Makai Galouti Kebab Video by Tarla Dalal


A vegetarian adaptation of the galouti kebab. The specialty of a galouti kebab is its ability to completely melt in your mouth and this makai galouti kebab does just that. Adding paneer gives these kebabs a great creamy texture and the potatoes help in binding. Make sure you finely chop and brown the onions well before adding to the mixture since this gives the kebabs an unmatched flavour. Serve steaming hot galouti kebabs with hari chutney.
