Step-by-Step Recipe:
1. Cooking the Gobindobhog Rice:
- Rinse 1 cup of Lalbaba Gobindobhog rice thoroughly and cook it in 2 cups of water until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Let the cooked rice cool completely. (The rice should be sticky to hold the kebab mixture together.)
2. Preparing the Kebab Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled Gobindobhog rice, boiled and mashed potatoes, and sweet corn kernels.
- Mix in the finely chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, and coriander leaves.
- Add the garam masala powder, red chili powder, chaat masala, and salt.
- Next, add 3 tablespoons of cornflour to bind the mixture.
- Mix everything thoroughly until you get a smooth and firm dough-like consistency.
3. Shaping the Kebabs:
- Grease your palms lightly and take a small portion of the mixture.
- Shape into small, round, or oval kebabs (approximately 2-inch diameter).
- Roll each kebab lightly in breadcrumbs for a crispy outer texture.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Shallow Frying the Kebabs:
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place the kebabs in the pan and shallow fry them on both sides until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
5. Serving:
- Arrange the kebabs on a serving plate and drizzle a little lemon juice over them.
- Serve hot with mint-coriander chutney or sweet chili sauce.
Tip: These Gobindobhog Rice and Sweet Corn Kebabs can also be baked in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden, for a healthier option.
