*1 Cup=240ml

1. In a bowl mix Corn, Onion, Green Chillies, Potatoes, Maize Flour (Makai Aata), Bengal Gram Flour (Besan), Garam Masala Powder, Black Pepper Powder, Coriander Leaves, Mint Leaves, Salt, Lemon, & Melted Yellow Butter (Salted).

6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
7. After 1 hour heat oil in Pan for shallow frying.
8. Fry Kebabs in batches. Keep flame on medium to high and cook on both sides till golden.
9. Once it is done take out on tissue and serve hot with Coriander & Mint Chutney / Ketchup.
Tips:
1. As we have used uncooked Corn the mixture will be slightly loose. Add more bread crumbs if it is not possible to give Kebab shape. Mixture should have enough binding to hold shape of Kebab while frying. It will not get very hard but remain
soft!
2. Refrigerating the Kebabs before frying helps in setting the Kebab and avoid breaking in oil! The Kebabs will have moisture and will be light. It will not get very hard on refrigerating!
3. You can either Shallow Fry or Deep Fry the Kebabs. You can even roast Kebabs in oven/OTG.
4. Once oil is hot put one Kebab to check if it breaks. If it breaks add more bread crumbs and set it in refrigerator for some time. If it does not break and it is fine add more Kebabs! Fry 3-4 Kebabs at a time as per the size of the Pan.
