Kebabs are traditionally made from minced meat and grilled in tandoor. Veg Seekh Kebab is made with vegetables such as carrot, beans, peas, capsicum, potatoes and spices. Chef Pankaj gives this classic dish a twist to make it healthier by making it with soaked soya granules and split chickpeas. Soya is a great source of protein and chickpeas are high in fibre.
The healthy but delicious melt in your mouth Veg Seekh Kebabs are served with green chutney.
