Beetroot kebabs are a delicious, vibrant vegetarian dish that combines the earthy flavour of beetroot and aromatic spices to create a flavourful snack or appetiser. The beetroot kebab recipe is simple to prepare and is a healthy alternative to traditional meat-based kebabs. The main ingredient is grated beetroot, and it's flavoured with a combination of spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chilli powder-which may be added to enhance the natural sweetness and earthiness. Finally, a binding agent, commonly besan, gram flour, or crumbs, is added to hold the mixture and keep the kebab intact upon being cooked. The kebabs are prepared even more flavourful by adding, in finely chopped form, onions, garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint. In some versions of the *beetroot kebabs recipe*, add a hint of lemon juice or yoghurt to balance the spices and add a tart twist. The mixture is shaped into small patties or logs, then shallow-fried or baked until crispy on the outside while remaining soft within. A stunning golden-brown crust and a soft spiced beetroot filling are both satisfying and nourishing. The beetroot kebabs can be used with mint chutney or yoghurt for flavour. They can serve as a snack or appetiser and as a main course, especially for vegetarians. Full of fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants, beetroot kebabs make a deliciously healthy diet with incredible colours.

FAQs

What are the ingredients for making Beetroot Kebabs?

Beetroot kebabs are made using grated beetroot, besan (chickpea flour), and mixed spices: cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chilli powder. Other ingredients include minced onions, garlic, ginger, fresh cilantro, and lemon juice for flavour, though some recipes also incorporate mashed potatoes to bind the mix and provide texture. To make the mixture softer, add nuts like cashews or almonds for crunch or a few tablespoons of yoghurt.

How long in advance can I prepare Beetroot Kebabs?

Yes, you can pre-cook beetroot kebabs. After making the kebab mixture, shape it into patties or logs and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Chill the kebabs for firming, so it becomes easier to cook them when needed. You can then bake, fry, or grill them. If you prefer to bake them, preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C) and bake the kebabs for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This method also helps retain their shape and texture.

How do I make Beetroot Kebabs spicier or milder?

The spice level of beetroot kebabs can be altered by adding more chilli powder or fresh green chillies. More chilli powder is required for a spicier kebab. In addition, you may chop fresh green chillies very finely and add them to the mixture. If you don't like too much spice, you can cut down on the chilli powder. Instead, use the savoury flavours of turmeric, cinnamon, or cardamom to better taste your kebab.
