Preparing Kabab Mixture

1. Heat a kadai (wok) and roast 5 tablespoons of besan by gently stirring it on low until the colour darkens.
2. Stir it continuously for about 4-5 minutes to avoid the raw taste but do not brown it too much. Once done, set it aside. 
3. Take the hung curd and add some finely chopped onions, ginger, green chillies, and coriander leaves with cumin powder, garam masala, roasted besan, and black or white pepper powder.
4. Mix the ingredients well with a wired whisk so that no lumps remain. 
5. Once done, refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours to make it easy to shape. 

Making Dahi Kabab

1. Take a frying pan and heat about 2 tablespoons of oil on medium-low flame.
2. Drench your hands, take some kabab mixture, make balls out of them, and flatten them. Ensure they are not too thick.
3. Add the dahi kabab to the hot oil and let them fry at low or medium-low. 
4. Let each kabab turn golden brown from one side before flipping them. Repeat the process on the other side. 
5. Repeat the process as needed. 
6. Remove them from the frying pan and place them on paper towels or tissues to soak extra oil. 
7. Your dahi kababs are ready to serve. Sprinkle some chaat masala and offer sliced onions and a chutney or raita on the side.
