I had Dahi ke Kebab at Sahib Sind Sultan, Hyderabad, in starters and at the very moment I fell in love with these veg Kababs. They were so yummy that I ordered one more plate! And no sooner I got the table the next time at this restaurant, I again ordered Dahi ke Kabab. I, absolutely, loved this melt-in-mouth vegetarian Kebab. And at my own risk tried the recipe at home, which turned out to be awesome!

I had tried making this both the ways – by deep frying and by shallow frying. Though I loved the taste of deep fried Kababs more, the Dahi ke Kabab recipe usually involves shallow frying.

Step-by-Step Dahi Ke Kabab

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for stuffing. Later, add 2 tsp full curd paste, we are making below. Mix again.

You can take finely chopped ginger, if you don’t have ginger powder or saunth at home.

Take another mixing bowl, add the hung curd, 2 tbsp roasted besan and mix it. Now add kashmiri mirch powder, elaichi, cloves and cinnamon powders and salt. Mix very well. If needed add 1 tbsp besan more and mix well again.

Take a medium size portion from the curd paste. Make an incision with your fingers at the centre of the portion and fill it with a small portion of stuffing. Cover the stuffing with very light hands. Now, give it a shape of kabab or patty.
