Seekh kababs are always a hit among all age groups

All you need to do is make a kebab mix with your favourite vegetables. This kebab uses a delightful mix of carrots, beans and potatoes. While carrots and beans help add crunch to the recipe, potatoes ground it. Khoya and cheese give these kebabs an inimitable creamy quality. Like all kebabs, this kebab too is made with a lovely combination of spices. Not many, but just apt to give this kebab a hot edge. It is the right quantity of spices that can truly make or break your kebabs. So, it is best that you stick to the recipe when it comes to the masalas, you can, however, experiment as much as you want when it comes to veggies or dry fruits. You can even skip khoya if you are unable to find it in your local store. Since the kebab is made with besan, it has a soft, earthy exterior. The earthiness is undercut with the freshness of figs or anjeer.
