METHOD

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl or plate.

Add onion + coriander leaves + ginger garlic + chilli paste + garam masala + turmeric + chaat masala + salt + kasoori methi pwdr + dry fruits and mix well with clean hands.

Check the consistency of the dough – it has to be thick .

Wet the bread slightly by drizzling few drops of water .[ 1 or 2 slices depending on the consistency – I just added 1 ]

Tear it roughly and add .Once again mix well.

Divide the mixture into equal portions and roll it into smooth balls .

Now give desired shapes to it or use it as balls. If time permits ,you can refrigerate or continue .

Dip the kebabs in cornflour mixture and roll it over the bread crumbs .The crumbs should cover the kebabs evenly on all sides. [ we can refrigerate these kebabs without frying and use it when required upto 2 days ]

Repeat with all kebabs . Again if time permits , you can refrigerate for sometime ,else continue .Refrigerating helps in hardening .

Deep fry it till golden on all sides .

Serve hot with any sauces / dips /chutneys .
