Veg Kabab or green gram/sabut moong Kabab. You can call it veg galouti Kabab. Because texture of this Kabab is mouth melting. This lentil Kabab taste lipsmackingly delicious and made with all the nutritious ingredients.

Whole green gram or sabut moong dal, chana dal or Bengal gram, paneer or cottage cheese and all the whole spices with ginger garlic onion made these Kabab super yummy and aromatic.
You can use boiled and grated potato with lentils or dal if you wish. I have used bread crumbs for binding, but you can use oatmeal, semolina or suji, corn flour or any binding. Use whatever you have. To make it gluten free use oatmeal or oats powder.

Veg Kabab is very easy to make. You have to boil and grind the lentils with spices and fry with onions. Make a dough with very little binding. For soft mouth melting Kabab don’t use more than 2 tablespoon binding. You can use green chilli according to your spice tolerance. You can also add more garlic if you like.
