VEGETARIAN KHEEMA ROLL

This was our last night's dinner. My kitchen is not in a condition to cook. We just had a tiring shifting session last Friday and everything is messed up. Since then we are getting food from outside, or going out in between to have food. This does not work for long for a person like me. Besides, I am too unwilling and lethargic to go out even for a minute when the house is in total mess. I do enjoy the weekend dining ventures with my family and friends though. 

Yesterday afternoon, while watching an Indian television channel, I came across an advertisement  about a  Vegetarian Kathi Roll by a famous food brand of India. I was literally drooling and slurping and instantly decided I have to prepare this. Even few years back, I might not have given a single thought about a vegetarian Kathi roll. As I planned to prepare something similar, the man grumbled saying I always fail to set my priorities in life, that there is no wrong keeping off the kitchen for few days. I accept but what about the foodie in me who dream of food all the time, though publicly I show off as if I am a health conscious.

Now the food advertisements do not come with the recipe. There must be a number of similar recipes but I went ahead with my own because I had to do it with whatever was available at home. We are even unable to keep proper stock of vegetables, meat and fish at this time. Let us do the Vegetarian Kheema Roll together as per my ideas which definitely has a source somewhere. This is not an innovative self. I served it on store bought parathas topped with chopped onion, cucumber, tomato, chilli sauce and mayonnaise.

INGREDIENTS :

Potato : 1 big sized
Minced Soya : 1 coffee mug
Minced Onion : 4-5 tbsp
Minced Green Chilli : 1 tsp
Dry Mango Powder : 1 tsp

Kulambu Spice Mix : 2 tsp [it is a Southern Indian spice mix, alternatively use meat masala or tandoori masala or garam masala or your choice of spice mix]

Salt : As Required
Oil : 1 tsp [because I oven cooked, frying would require way more of oil]

METHOD :

Wash, peel, boil and mash the potatoes.

Soak the soy chunks in hot water for 1/2 an hour and drain the water, mince them.

Peel, wash, mince the onion, also wash & mince the chillies.

Mix together the boiled potato, minced soy, green chillies and onion, salt, dry mango powder, kulambu spice mix and the oil.

Shape them as I have done.

Grease an oven proof plate, arrange the kebabs on it.

Mine is a convection mode microwave oven, I did place the low height wired stool inside and kept the oven proof plate with the kebabs on it.

I cooked them in the combination mode for 15 minutes. The rest of the toppings and decorations I leave it to your choices.
