Seal it well so that it doesnt open. Dont make the kebabs thick make a thin layer along the skewers for it cook well inside. Brush oil generously on the kebabs and bake them for 20 to 25mins or until the kebabs turn browned. Turn in between after 15mins to the other side.

Serve hot with green chutney or tomato sauce accompanied with sliced raw onions, tomato and lemon.

My Notes:
  • Make sure to make only a thin layer along the skewers else the inside will not get cooked. I made this mistake for the first test batch of 2 kebabs and made it thin in all other kebabs.
  • The kebabs are crispy on the outside and soft inside.
  • The above mentioned quantity makes around 10-12 kebabs.
  • The mode should be in bake, dont change it to grill as the outcome will be different.
  • You can also add bread while adding potatoes.

The kebabs can be deep fried also for those of you who dont own a oven. Make the kebabs as per the same method as above and deep fry them until golden brown.

This is sure a healthy and tasty veg starter that can be easily prepared at home.
