    This recipe calls for few ingredients, one of that is fried onions and chana dal. In the pictures you will see a whole lot of fried onions which i was cooking, that is because i was cooking some other curry as well. So when i fried onions for that curry, i took few spoonful of that for this kebab. But the measurements which i have given in the recipe is perfect for this recipe.

      Aarthi,
      Nice looking recipe. I like the addotion of the 'egg net' most recipes don't use that. I have two questions.....

      1) Other than the oil and some moisture from the fried onions is there no other liquid added before cooking down the the ingredients mixture ?

      2) Other Shami recipes i've seen stress the importance of chilling the finished mixture before frying the kebab. They usually say to refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, but better to leave it overnight. Does your recipe mixture not need chilling ? Does it fry better / easier if it is chilled ?
      Thanks
      K.
