Serve
For a lower-calorie version, bake the kebabs. Arrange the coated patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lightly spray with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Enhance the nutritional value by adding 1/4 cup of finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers, grated carrots, or green peas to the mixture.

Corn contains beneficial antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health. Additionally, spices like turmeric provide curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Besan (gram flour) contributes a modest amount of plant-based protein to the dish, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
One serving of three kebabs contains approximately 410-440 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the size of the vegetables and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
It is moderately healthy. The kebabs are rich in fiber from corn and provide energy from carbohydrates. However, they are shallow-fried, which adds fat and calories. For a healthier alternative, you can bake or air-fry them.
Yes, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free. Simply substitute the regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Besan (gram flour) is naturally gluten-free, but check the packaging for any cross-contamination warnings if you have a severe allergy.
This usually happens if the mixture has too much moisture. Ensure your boiled potatoes and corn are very well-drained and dry. Using a starchy potato variety also helps with binding. If the problem persists, add an extra tablespoon of roasted besan to the mixture.
Absolutely. You can shape the kebabs, coat them with breadcrumbs, 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 crispy texture.
