Ingredients

• 250 gm hung curd 
• 100 gm paneer 
• 2 to 3 tbsp besan (dry roasted in low heat )
• 1 tbsp cornflour
• 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves
• 1 tsp finely chopped green chillies
• 2 tbsp finely chopped onions
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp roasted and powdered cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp green fennel seeds
• 1-2 tsp paprika or red chilli powder 
• 1 tsp powdered sugar
• 2-3 tsp oil/ghee for pan frying
• A pinch of rock salt

Method

• To soften paneer, soak it in warm water for 30 minutes.
• Mix all the ingredients except the oil, and refrigerate it for an hour.
• Make small balls and flatten them like tikkis.
• Fry them in a pan over medium heat till they turn brown on both sides.
• Dahi kebabs are quite soft, so you have to handle them carefully.
• Serve hot off the pan with ketchup, chutney, chopped tomatoes and onions in chaat masala and lime juice. I also served some poppadums.
