Increase the amount of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder to the mixture for an extra kick.
For a richer and even softer texture, replace half of the mashed potato with an equal amount of finely grated paneer (Indian cottage cheese).
Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh mint leaves along with the coriander leaves for a refreshing aroma and flavor.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids. Protein is vital for building and repairing tissues, muscle development, and overall body function.
The potatoes in the kebabs provide complex carbohydrates, which are the body's primary source of energy, keeping you feeling full and energized.
The blend of spices like turmeric, coriander, and cardamom not only adds incredible flavor but also offers health benefits. Turmeric, for instance, contains curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
The key is binding and chilling. Ensure your mashed potato is not watery. The roasted besan and breadcrumbs act as binders. Most importantly, you must chill the shaped kebabs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before frying. This helps them firm up significantly. Also, be very gentle when flipping them in the pan.
Yes, you can prepare and shape the kebabs and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Fry them just before you plan to serve for the best taste and texture.
While delicious, Anda Galouti Kebabs are an indulgent dish as they are shallow-fried in ghee. However, they are a fantastic source of high-quality protein from the eggs. To make a healthier version, you can pan-sear them with minimal ghee or try cooking them in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
A serving of 3 Anda Galouti Kebabs contains approximately 380 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the size of the ingredients and the amount of ghee absorbed during frying.
If you don't have besan, you can use roasted sattu (roasted gram flour) for a similar nutty flavor. In a pinch, you can also use an equal amount of cornflour or all-purpose flour, but be sure to roast it lightly first to cook out the raw taste.
