The Veg Galouti Kebab is a delightful vegetarian twist on the traditional Galouti Kebab, a dish that originates from the royal kitchens of Lucknow.

Known for its melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich flavors, this kebab is made using a blend of finely mashed red kidney beans/rajma, aromatic spices, and a secret ingredient—roasted chana dal powder/besan—that gives it its signature softness.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply craving something indulgent, this Veg Galouti Kebab recipe is sure to impress.

The most ideal scenario for me is when I have rajma curry ( How to Make Punjabi Rajma Curry) on the menu. I boil a little extra rajma for the kabab, and then either I can make it for the guests or I am free to deep freeze it for later. Both ways it is convenient for me and time-saving too.

To make these succulent kebabs, start by preparing a mixture of mashed finely mashed red kidney beans. The key is to ensure the rajma are cooked until they’re very soft, which helps achieve the desired creamy texture.

Next, add fried onions and roasted chana dal powder, which not only binds the mixture but also adds a subtle nuttiness.

For a burst of flavor, mix in finely chopped green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, and a medley of spices including garam masala, coriander powder, and cumin powder.

Shape the mashed mixture into small round patties and shallow fry them in ghee until they’re golden brown on both sides. The use of ghee enhances the richness and brings out the kebab’s intricate flavors.

Serve these kebabs hot with a side of mint chutney and thinly sliced onions for a perfect appetizer or snack. You can alternative use olive oil if you prefer.
