Aloo Kay Kabab (Potato Kebabs)

Submitted by The UnModern Woman

"This recipe is for people who are more into spicy desi food. U can serve these kababs as appetizers, with Daal Chawal or even make Bun Kababs from them. For people who like their kababs crispier they can roll the kababs in bread crumbs after dippen them in eggs. Also before making every kabab if u put some oil in the palm of yr hands they won't stick & the shape would come out better."

I thought these were delicious. I did cut down on the spice a good deal (as you warned about how spicy they were in the description) - I only put 2 green chilies in (not 4) and they were still quite piquant! I may have overcooked the potatoes - they were mashed-potato-like, i.e. not 'grateable'. Regardless, this is a wonderful recipe. I served them with your chickpea pulao and tamarind/cilantro dipping sauce and some raita. Great! Thank you! Reviewed for PAC Spring 2009
