Vegan Seekh Kebabs (Soya Chunk Kababs)
Vegan seekh kebabs made from soy chunks are a great starter for curry night or a filling wrap. Easy to make and impressive.
Ingredients
- 150 g medium soy chunks
- 120 ml hot water to soak soy chunks
- 2 green chillies
- 80 g red onion very finely minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic ginger paste
- 1 ½` teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
- 3 stems fresh coriander cilantro, chopped
- 3 stems mint chopped
- 20 g chickpea flour gram flour/besan/garbanzo bean flour
- 40 g plain flour all-purpose (AP) flour
- 40 g breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons water
- oil to taste, for frying the kebabs
Instructions
- Add 150 g medium soy chunks and 120 ml hot water to a large bowl. Cover and leave to rehydrate for 20-30 minutes. Once they've soaked, drain the water. Use your hands to squeeze any excess water from the soy chunks (this helps them absorb more flavour later!).
- Add the rehydrated soy chunks to a large mixer grinder along with 2 green chillies. Pulse until both have broken down into a fine mince.
- To a small, non-stick frying pan over low heat, add 20 g chickpea flour. Roast for around 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until fragrant. Turn off the heat and leave the flour to cool.
- To a large bowl, add the soy chunk and green chilli mixture, 80 g red onion (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon garlic ginger paste, 1 ½` teaspoon salt, ¾ teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon red chilli powder, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, ¼ teaspoon garam masala, ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder, 3 stems fresh coriander (chopped), and 3 stems mint (chopped). Mix well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed. Next, add the roasted chickpea flour, 40 g plain flour, 40 g breadcrumbs, and 3 tablespoons water.
- Get in there with your hands mix everything well.
- Wet your hands, take some of the mixture, and shape it around a metal skewer. Squeeze the kebab into place. This can take practice!
- Heat oil (to taste) in a large pan over medium heat. Carefully place the kebabs onto the pan and drizzle over a little more oil. Once one side turns golden-brown, carefully rotate the kebabs. Cook this way until all sides are a lovely golden brown, then serve. You can also cook the kebabs on a grill or BBQ.
