Vegetarian Kebabs
Serves 4

• 8 mint leaves

• 1 green chilli
• ½ inch fresh ginger
• 75 g cashew nuts
• 113 g kidney beans, cooked
• 75 g cottage cheese, well drained
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 onion, sliced and caramelised
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp chaat masala, optional

Grind the mint leaves, rose petals, chilli, ginger and cashews together in a food processor to make a coarse mixture. Add the kidney beans and blend again. Next, place the kebab mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and knead well to make a dough. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape the portions into circular discs and place them in a preheated pan, greased with oil. Drizzle a few drops of oil over the kebabs and fry them on both sides until lightly crisp. Serve piping hot with mint and coriander chutney.
