Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can kidney bean drained and rinsed (you can also cook kidney beans at home with this recipe)
  • 2 medium potatoes boiled and mashed (around one cup of mashed potatoes)
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies finely chopped (adjust as per taste)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust as per taste
  • 2-3 teaspoon oil for shallow frying

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled rajma thoroughly.
  • Add mashed potatoes, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger garlic paste, besan, cilantro, garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt to the mashed rajma. Mix well to form a smooth mixture.
  • Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round or oval kebabs.
  • Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying.
  • Place the kebabs in the hot pan and cook until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt sauce.

Notes

  • Don't over-mash the beans and potatoes. Leave some small chunks for a satisfying bite.
  • Drain canned beans well. Excess liquid can lead to mushy patties.
  • Chill the formed patties for 10-15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Also, flip gently using a spatula to avoid breaking the patties.
