Step 3 Shape it into kebabs
Next, add 1 finely chopped onion along with the chopped mint leaves to the kebab mix. Take out a lemon sized ball from the kebab mix and flatten it using your hands to make a round flat disk shape.

Step 4 Fry the kebabs and serve hot
Now, place a non-stick pan over medium flame and add oil to it. Once the oil is hot enough, put the kebabs in it and fry them until crisp. Once done, transfer the kebabs to a tissue paper lined plate to drain off excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup to enjoy!
