As the name suggests, dahi kebabs feature a crispy exterior with a melt-in-the-mouth filling made with curd and paneer. While naturally rich in protein, dahi kebabs can be made healthier when air-fried.

Ingredients

1 cup dahi 1/2 cup paneer 1/2 cup onions 1/4 cup capsicum 1/2 tsp ginger paste 1/2 tsp green chilli paste 1/2 tsp garam masala 1/2 tsp chaat masala 1/2 tsp cumin powder 1 tbsp coriander leaves Salt to taste 2 tbsp cornflour 2 tbsp breadcrumbs Oil for deep frying

Step 1

Mix dahi, paneer, onions, capsicum, ginger paste, chilli paste, and all the spices.

Step 2

Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into patties.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs and cornflour. Coat the patties with this mixture.

Step 4

Refrigerate the coated patties for about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Heat some oil and deep fry to make kurkure dahi kebabs. Serve with a chutney.
