Moong Matar Kebab Recipe

Moong Matar Kebab Recipe / Green Lentil And Peas Kebab

          Green Lentil and Peas Kebabs, is a simple vegetarian Kebab that can be made as an appetiser for your house parties or tea parties.

          Green Lentil and Peas Kebabs are a perfect replacement for all the kebab lovers this winter. You may enjoy them as a starter, a tea time snack or even send them in tiffin for your kids. They are nutritious but I also agree that as it is deep fried it somewhere restricts the weight watchers.

         Well in that case, you can simply shape them as a disk and shallow fry in a non stick tawa and make patties or make round balls and fry them in appe pan or air fry them for more better results.

          Serve Moong Matar Kebab along with Pudina Chutney as a starter for your house parties.

Preparation:

1. To begin making the Moong Matar Kebab Recipe, soak lentils in water for minimum 1 hour.

8. Meanwhile take a cup of water and wet both your palms.
9. Scoop a lemon sized ball from the batter with your wet hand and toss it gently to make a round ball.
10. Flatten the ball gently with your other hand and gently leave it in the oil to fry.
11. Similarly shape rest of the batter for kebabs and deep fry from both sides till brown in colour.
12. Always fry the kebabs in low flame so that it gets cooked from inside.
13. Transfer the fried kebabs on a tissue paper so that the excess oil gets absorbed.
