VEG SEEKH KABAB

Veg seekh kabab ….yes you heard it right. Seekh kabab is very popular dish made with minced meat and seasoned with spices.  Traditionally seekh kababs are made into hot tandoor that makes it a perfect golden brown. Since most of us do not have tandoor at home this recipe uses the non-stick grill pan. Today I am going to share the recipe which is very easy and quick and pure vegetarian one. These kababs are succulent and tasty.  These veg seekh kababs are not melt in mouth, but I must tell you that they are delicious one. I bet you won’t miss the meaty seekh kababs when you dig a bite in these veggy ones.  Veg kababs are excellent as starters and even teams up well with bread in a sandwich. A healthier alternative to fried and non-veg kababs. You can also make a variation by using some paneer in it. I had taken a non-stick grill pan but you can cook them on a non-stick tawa. So get ready with all ingredients and make this mouth watering kababs which will leave every one licking their finger tips.
