Dahi Ke Kebab | How to Make Dahi ke Kebab | Dahi ke Kebab Recipe
If you ever go to a North-Indian restaurant, you would most often find Dahi ke Kebab listed on top of the snacks & appetizers section. Crispy on the outside and super-soft and melt-in-mouth on the inside with a delicious creamy texture, no doubt, they are every food lover's delight.
Authentically, if you talk about kebabs, you would not find bread crumbs used in them originally. And this held true even for the Dahi ke Kebab because as far as I remember 4 to 5 years back, if we ordered for these kebabs at a restaurant we would get the super soft textured kebabs without a crisp outer shell. However, with time, I guess chefs modernized and tweaked the recipe a bit to give it that crispiness on the outside, which I believe makes these kebabs even more delectable. So, on the blog, today is that very same modernized recipe of Dahi ke Kebab...do try it out and I am sure you would be hooked to them.

- Once the oil is nicely hot, switch the flame to medium and gentry drop in the kebabs one by one. Fry them on medium high until nicely crisp and golden brown.
- Transfer on an absorbent paper and serve hot with any dip of your choice.
- They are a perfect make ahead recipe and can be kept frozen once crumb coated.
