Veg Seekh Kebab

Veg Seekh Kebab is a flavorful, spiced vegetarian kebab made with a mix of vegetables, binding agents, and aromatic spices, shaped around skewers and grilled to perfection. Traditionally inspired by the meat-based seekh kebab, this vegetarian version uses ingredients like potatoes, carrots, peas, paneer, and breadcrumbs for texture and richness, delivering a smoky, tandoori-like taste. It's ideal as a starter or party appetizer, best served with mint chutney and onions.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups grated boiled potatoes

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped carrots
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped cauliflower florets
  • ½ cup boiled and squeezed spinach
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tsp finely chopped green chilies
  • ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
  • 2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs adjust for binding
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil for basting

Equipment

  • Flat metal or soaked bamboo skewers

Method
 

  1. Boil French beans, carrots, and cauliflower in a pan for 2–3 minutes. Drain, squeeze out excess water, and finely chop.
  2. In a large bowl, combine boiled potatoes, prepared vegetables, ginger, green chilies, coriander, spinach, mint, and spices (red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, chaat masala, salt).
  3. Add breadcrumbs gradually and mix well. Adjust quantity until the mixture holds together without being too wet.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours for better binding.
  5. Moisten your hands with water or oil. Take a portion of the mixture and shape it evenly around a skewer, forming a long cylindrical kebab. Leave a small gap at the top.
  6. Preheat grill, oven, or non-stick pan:
  7. Grill method: Cook on a preheated grill at 240°C for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway and basting with butter.
  8. Stovetop method: Heat oil in a pan and cook kebabs over medium heat, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides (8–10 minutes).
  9. Oven method: Place on a greased baking tray and bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes, flipping once.
  10. Serve hot with mint chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges.
