Veggie Patties Kabab

Veggie Patties Kabab, also known as Vegetable Kebabs, are a vegetarian version of the popular kababs traditionally made with meat. They are made by combining various vegetables, spices, and binders to form a patty or kebab shape, which is then cooked by grilling, baking, or pan-frying.

The main ingredients in Veggie Patties Kabab include a variety of vegetables such as carrots, peas, corn, beans, and sometimes potatoes. These vegetables are finely chopped or grated and mixed with other ingredients like bread crumbs, onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of spices such as garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder.

The mixture is then shaped into patties or kebab shapes, which are typically flattened discs or elongated cylinders. The patties can be cooked on a grill, in the oven, or in a pan with a small amount of oil until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Veggie Patties Kabab can be served as a standalone appetizer or snack, or they can be used in sandwiches, wraps, or as a filling in burger buns. They are a versatile and flavorful vegetarian option that can be enjoyed by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
