SOYA CHUNKS AND PANEER VEG KABAB

Hello everyone

Till now you all might be come to know that I am a pity mother of lil fussy eater 😃. Few days back while watching his favorite movie he ate some chicken kabab, of course not home made. And luckily he liked it too much. Even after returning to home he used to say that he will love to hog on these snacks again. Although I am not pure vegetarian but have very limited access to these dishes in my kitchen. But as he is interested in it , which occurs once in a blue moon, I thought to do little experiment with my veg options. And viola , the experiment was a big successful one. Not only him but we all enjoyed every bite of it. Used capsicum, beans, carrots, soya chunks, potato and cottage cheese to make these beauties. These are pan fried in very less oil , which makes it suitable snacks for weight watchers too. But i am so happy that my lil one loved it and He took these in his tiffin too.

Recipe is given below, hope to make you happy with its superb taste.
