Instructions
- To begin with, take chana dal. Wash it properly and soak it for a minimum of 4-5 hr. Over-night soaking is best.

Notes
- This is a tried and tested recipe. Any change in the ingredient will change the result.
- I have used chana dal for these kababs and you can prepare same with moong dal as well.
- If you want, you can deep fry these kabab instead of shallow frying.
- Over-night soaking gives best results. However 4-5 hrs soaking will also work.
