Tender lentils slow-simmered with warming turmeric, finished with a sizzling tarka of golden ghee, roasted cumin, and fresh coriander.
Coarsely grind the soaked chana dal without adding water.
Cook the ground dal with onion, green chilies, and garam masala in 1 tbsp oil until the mixture dries out.
Cool, then knead in the roasted gram flour, coriander, and salt.
With oiled hands, shape into round flat kebabs.
Cook over medium-high heat, basting with the remaining oil.
Grill until browned and crisp, and serve with mint chutney.
