Vegetarian Sheekh Kabab

Something for us poor vegetarian folks!. You'll nee:
- 1/2 cup uncooked black channa
- 1/2 cup uncooked channa daal
- 1 plantain.
- 1/4 cup cashew nuts
- 1/4 cup raisins (I used golden raisins)
- Finely chopped green chilies to taste
- 1/4 inch ginger grated.
- finely chopped cilantro.
- 1 tsp Shahi Jeera (Caraway)
- 1 tbsp tandoori bbq masala (MDH)

1) Soak black channa overnight and pressure cook. Drain off all water and mash well.
2) Soak channa daal for 2 hours and pressure with very little water. Roast the cooked daal until all water evaporates. Mash well and mix with the mashed black channa.
3) Pressure cook plantain. Remove promptly from water. Peel and grate. Mix with mashed daals.
4) Crush cashew nuts and raisins and keep aside.
5) Heat two tbsps oil in a pan. Add shahi jeera, crushed nuts and raisins. Fry well. Add chopped green chillies and grated ginger. Fry for a minute. Add this to the plantain + daal mix.
6) Finely chop cilantro and mix.
7) Mix in a tbsp of tandoori bbq masalaa.

Now, I am sure this turns out great when deep/shallow fried.

I grilled them on skewers and they fell apart when they got dry. Dont really know how to get over this problem. If you find out, let me know.

Enjoy!
