galouti kebab recipe | veg galouti kabab recipe | rajma galouti kebab with detailed photo and video recipe. a popular vegetarian alternative of the popular meat-based galouti kebab from awadhi cuisine. these patties shaped kabab are known for its crispy texture, moist inside and hence served within a roll. it can be severed as starters or snacks with choice of condiments, but also tastes amazing when served as patties for burger or rolls.
well, to be honest, i am not a huge fan of this kebab as it makes me full after having 1-2 kebabs. it is mainly because of the large amount of protein present in the kidney beans. i personally like to have a light snack which does not make you blotted. perhaps it could be just me because apparently, it is one of the sought after kebab recipe. in addition, meat lovers extend this recipe with desired meat in place of kidney beans and thus making a protein pack. hence most of the kebab shops stuff these kebabs in a roll with some salad and serve it as a complete meal for lunch and dinner.
furthermore some tips, suggestions and variations to the galouti kebab recipe. firstly, the kidney beans have to be soaked minimum of 8 hours if not overnight. in addition, once it is soaked, pressure cook it thoroughly so that rajma can be easily mashed and shaped. secondly, once the kebab’s are shaped you can fry these with different options. i have pan-fried to give the healthy option, but you can deep fry or shallow fry till crisp. lastly, you can extend and experiment the recipe by adding choice of millets and quinoa. adding these makes it more crispy and also filling.
