Corn Seekh Kebab combines corn's natural sweetness with potatoes, gram flour, and fragrant Indian spices to create a delicious and soft mixture that can be shaped on skewers. Corn provides delightful bursts of sweetness, and spices like cumin, garam masala, green chilli, and ginger add a savoury and warm character to these kebabs. Thus, a vegetarian starter with a lightly crispy outside and soft inside is ready. This seekh kebab recipe becomes handy when you want to try something other than your usual paneer or veg kebabs.
This seekh kebab recipe derives its structure from a combination of boiled potato and roasted gram flour, which gives the kebabs their shape. It is essential to drain the boiled potato properly, as too much water will make the mixture soft, and shaping it will be hard. A short roasting of the gram flour will help get rid of the raw taste.
This seekh kebab recipe is ideal for use as a starter at any gathering, or even combined into an appetiser platter. They are best served hot with mint-coriander chutney, onion slices and lemon wedges. You can even prepare them in advance by shaping the mixture into kebabs and storing them in your fridge until you are ready to cook.
