Prepare Lentils :
Soak red lentils (masoor daal) in water for 30 minutes. Drain water and grind into a coarse paste (not too smooth).
-
Make the Mixture :
In a mixing bowl, add the ground lentils, grated onion, grated carrot, green chilies, chopped coriander, and ginger-garlic paste.
Add all the dry spices: salt, cumin powder, dry coriander powder, carom seeds, chaat masala, and red chili powder.
Mix everything well into a thick dough-like mixture.
-
Shape the Kebabs :
Take small portions of the mixture and shape into round or oval kebabs/patties.
Place them on a tray and let them rest for 10 minutes.
-
Fry the Kebabs :
Heat oil in a frying pan at 180°C.
Shallow fry the kebabs on medium flame until golden brown and crispy from both sides.
-
Serve & Enjoy :
Place kebabs on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with green chutney, raita, or ketchup.
