  • Add 2 cups of water.
  • Boil till the chana becomes soft.
  • Remove from fire and allow it to cool.
  • Open the lid and check water. If any water is left, put it on fire and dry the water.
  • Cool the chana and grind it fine.
  • Mix chopped green chillis and  pudina leaves.
  • Take some dough and make round cups.
  • Put one or two resins and make round balls.
  • Flatten the balls and shallow fry on a tawa or frying pan on medium fire.

Make sure that the dough is not very hard. Otherwise the kababs will turn out hard. The finished kababs should be soft.

The kabas are ready. Garnish and serve. It goes fabulously well with dhania chutney or tomato ketchup. It can be eaten both as a snack or with rotis, puris and  parathas.

If you put more water and do not dry it after boiling, the broth  makes excellent and very healthy soup.
