Dahi Kebab
Dahi kebab is made with a mixture of thick hung curd and grated paneer combined with several spices and fresh herbs. These are shaped gently and coated with breadcrumbs before frying them to a nice and crisp exterior with a soft interior to perfection.
Ingredients
- 500 grams curd
- ½ cup paneer grated
- ¼ cup onions finely chopped
- 1 tbsp green chilies finely chopped
- Coriander leaves a few, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper crushed
- ¼ tsp asafetida hing
- ½ tsp cumin seed powder jeera
- 2 tbsp gram flour besan
- Bread crumbs – as required to coat the kebabs
- Ghee clarified butter – as required to shape the kebabs
- Cooking oil – as required to fry the kebabs
Instructions
- Place a sieve on a bowl, then a piece of cotton cloth and pour 500 grams of curd in it.
- Tie it nicely and refrigerate overnight. Take it out in a bowl.
- Add ½ cup of grated paneer, ¼ cup of finely chopped onions , 1 tbsp of green chilies and coriander leaves along with salt to taste, ½ tsp of crushed black pepper, ¼ tsp of asafetida (hing), ½ tsp of cumin seed powder (jeera), followed by 2 tbsp of gram flour (besan). Mix it nicely.
- Take bread crumbs and ghee or clarified butter as required on a plate and a bowl alongside. Grease your hands with ghee, take a bit of the mixture and shape the kebab. Coat it nicely with bread crumbs. Repeat the process to make all the kebabs.
- Heat adequate amount of cooking oil over a medium flame and place the kebabs carefully. Flip and fry on both sides until crisp. Remove them on a plate laid with tissue paper when done.

Notes
I have used crushed black pepper in the kebab mix for enhanced taste in every bite. Black pepper powder is available for your use in cooking.
You must extract all water from the curd before you store it in the refrigerator for overnight cooling.
My kebabs have a unique taste because I use ghee to shape them but you may replace it with cooking oil if you want.
