Shallow Fry the Kebabs
Serve
For added texture and binding, you can add 1/2 cup of grated paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or one medium boiled and mashed potato to the mixture.
Instead of shallow frying, bake the kebabs in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, or cook them in an air fryer at 180°C (360°F) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped mint leaves along with the coriander for a fresher flavor profile.
