Yam Kebabs (Suran Kebabs)

Courtesy : Mom
A great starter or side-dish for rice, this recipe takes a little more effort compared to my other dishes. And the effort does gives a great result at the end.

You'll need :


  • Chana dal : 1/2 cup
  • Suran or Yam : 1 1/2 cups (finely chopped)
  • Onion : 1/2 cup (sliced)
  • Ginger : 1 1/2 tsp (grated)
  • Garlic : 2 cloves (chopped)
  • Green chillies : 2 (chopped)
  • Mint or pudina : 1/4 cup (chopped)
  • Chaat masala : 1tbsp
  • Garam masala : 1/4tsp
  • Oil for cooking : 3tbsp
  • Salt as per taste
  • Oil for grilling
  • Water as required

Method:


  • Heat 1tbsp of oil in a pan, add the chana dal and saute it till it gives a nice aroma.
  • Cool and grind the chana dal to a powder. Keep aside.
  • In another pan, heat the remaining 2tbsp of oil and saute the onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies till the onions turn translucent.
  • Add the yam/suran and cook over a slow flame for 5-7 minutes. 
  • Add 1/2 cup of water and cover and cook till the yam/suran is soft and all the moisture has evaporated.
  • Cool and grind to a paste along with the mint without using any water.
  • Combine the chana dal powder, suran mixture, chaat masala, garam masala and salt and mix well.
  • Divide into 4 equal portions and shape them into kebabs/ cutlets.
  • Shallow fry till they are lightly browned on all sides.
  • Serve hot with green chutney and onion rings.
