    For the final day of BM# 49, fourth week, under One vegetable, different forms, I have been cooking Beetroot. Since Beets are so healthy and I have been trying different ways to include in my diet, I thought this low cal, protein-heavy tikkis or Kababs, would make a great snack.
    The day I was on a cooking spree, this was also planned. I almost thought I would even pair it with one another dish in making. However, these disappeared before I could even decide clearly. Since the time we decided that we do not like to eat tofu as such, the best way to include is only by masking it. So these Kababs worked out best. One would hardly notice the tofu in it.
    I also wanted to make sure these were pan fried. Maybe we can indulge in a teaspoon extra for frying these, however, I didn't notice anything missing even with pan fried Kababs.

     

     

     

    Beetroot Kebab with Tofu

    Ingredients Needed:

    Grated Beetroot  - 1 cup
    Grated Tofu - 1/2 cup
    Corn Starch / Corn flour - 2 -3 tbsp
    Green chilies - 1
    Green chili paste - 1 tsp
    Coriander leaves, finely chopped - 2 tbsp
    Garlic paste - 1/2 Tsp
    Amchoor powder/ Dry Mango powder - 1/2 Tsp
    Roasted Anardana powder - 1/2 tsp
    Chaat Masala, a pinch
    Kala Namak a pinch
    cashew nuts, to stuff
    Crushed oats / fine Semolina as required to coat
    Oil, to pan fry

    How to make Beetroot Kebab with Tofu

    Peel the beets skin and grate using a bigger mouth. MW tofu for a min with enough water and squeeze well. Then grate it to the beets. Add all the other ingredients and mix well. Let it sit for 5 mins.

    Then add cornflour and mix in to get stiff and firm balls. Water is not added at all, so the amount of cornflour usually depends on how much moisture is present.

    Make balls and pat down to circles. Roll these on either crushed oats or semolina. Heat a pan with oil just enough for pan-frying and place all the kebab circles. Cook on both sides till done. It takes about 10 mins on low flame to get done.

    Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney.

      I made beetroot chickpea fritters before. I am sure the tofu gave these a silky texture

      Wow, what a great way to hide beets and tofu. My family is OK with tofu but NOT ok with beets, so this will be a great way to have them eat beets.
