This made my jaw drop and I am SO excited. I absolutely love middle eastern food & my bf and his friends eat the meat kabobs & I always hear them talk about how good it is, but now I know there is an alternative out there for me :). Thank you so much! You have brought so many exotic choices to the table. I'm thrilled :D!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-10607243841797064252009-06-28T01:50:25.243+00:002009-06-28T01:50:25.243+00:00This just looks great.

I also added grated zucchini along with the grated carrot. I added these to the pan after cooking the onions so they would dry up without having to squeeze out their nutritious liquid (last time I drank the carrot juice I squeezed out but I wasn't as excited about doing the same with zucchini juice)<br /><br />I shaped the mix into balls to be baked.<br /><br />I feel like I still need to get the texture of these right. The first time they seemed a bit too dry, though they weren't dense. So this time I added extra olive oil, but they became quite fluffy.<br /><br />I think next time I will try doubling the carrot and zucchini and mashing the mung beans less, so they are not pasty.<br /><br />It was still a very good meal though, enjoyed by all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-11691290780982374842009-04-21T10:59:00.000+00:002009-04-21T10:59:00.000+00:00Made these tonight.

A lot of different forms you could shape it into.<br /><br />I used fresh coriander leaves instead of dry and I also added chopped fresh parsley. I think next time I would use extra garlic, onion and ginger.<br /><br />I think I will always use buckwheat or besan flour for binding now.<br /><br />That's two of your recipes I've tried now and looking forward to more.adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-60728729023458656592008-10-27T17:29:00.000+00:002008-10-27T17:29:00.000+00:00Hi Jeena,One of my frens told me abt ur website an...Hi Jeena,<BR/><BR/>One of my frens told me abt ur website and was'nt I glad she did :)!<BR/><BR/>I just tried out the kebabs and they are yum...!<BR/><BR/>Thanks a ton!sapnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821208275994118510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-81036244823413862922008-09-21T05:19:00.000+00:002008-09-21T05:19:00.000+00:00Really the kebeb was delicously.

Thanks for stopping by. :-)<BR/> <BR/>Kajal thanks for stopping by, I'm glad you like the pictures. :-)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous hi there, you shape the kebabs by dividing your mixture into four. Take one part and mould it around the skewer. You can place it then onto your baking tray and mould it along the skewer while the kebab is on the baking tray. <BR/><BR/>Did you have the oven on the correct heat setting for the onion bhaji? Also after 10 minutes you need to take your bhaji's out of the oven and drizzle oil over the onion bhajis, then return the bhajis to the oven for another 10 minutes or until golden. The measurements of flour and fluid also make a difference to how the bhajis will turn out so make sure you follow the recipe measurements.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps, thanks for stopping by. :-)<BR/><BR/>Rosie I'm glad you like the pictures. It tasted gorgeous too. Thanks for your lovely comment. :-) <BR/><BR/>rv thankyou for the lovely comment. :) I'm glad you found this recipe! The kebab mixture itself is quite sticky so it needs a baking tray to keep it in place while it cooks. Although the kebab needs a baking tray to keep it in position - the kebab still cooks solid onto the metal skewer. So when it has finished cooking you can pull the skewer straight out of the kebab and the kebab will stay in a sausage shape. <BR/><BR/>Please make sure you follow the recipe as I take the kebabs out and use a spatula to loosen the underneath of them and shape them a little and then return the kebabs to the oven for a while longer.<BR/><BR/>The reason why I don't use a more solid mixture to make these kebabs is that I don't want the kebab to taste dry - my kebabs are perfect in moisture and texture so do have a go at making them they are totally delicious. :-) I hope this helps, thanks for stopping by.

Such a delight to see these veg kabab, i had been searching for these all over internet, glad i came across ur blog, one question, when u mould the mixture around the skewers, does it properly hold up on the skewer or in another words , is it solid enough to mould on the skewer? i mean the way we make chicken kababs, can it be just be independently suspended on the oven rails? or do we need a baking tray? i really loved ur blog and writing , such a nice piece of work:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10574736515170211403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-35180762315806231952007-12-26T16:07:00.000+00:002007-12-26T16:07:00.000+00:00Oh my Jeena you never fail to amaze me with your d...Oh my Jeena you never fail to amaze me with your delicious recipes and pics!
