Assemble and Serve
Replace the hard-boiled eggs with 1 cup of crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or an additional large boiled potato for a delicious vegetarian alternative.
Instead of shallow-frying, bake the kebabs at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, or cook them in an air fryer until golden and crisp. Use whole wheat buns.
Finely chop and add vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or green peas to the kebab mixture for added nutrition and texture.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder to the mixture for extra heat.

It's a balanced dish with protein from eggs and dal, and carbs from the potato and bun. However, it is shallow-fried. To make it healthier, you can bake or air-fry the kebabs and use whole wheat buns.
This is usually due to excess moisture. Make sure your boiled chana dal and potato are very well-drained and completely cool. If the mixture still feels too soft, add a tablespoon or two of roasted gram flour (besan) or breadcrumbs to act as a binder.
Yes, you can. You can prepare the kebab mixture and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also shape and fry the patties, cool them, and refrigerate them. Reheat them on a pan before assembling the bun kebab.
