WHAT IS GALOUTI KEBAB?

“Galouti” is a Hindi word which means “soft” or in the world of cuisines, something”melt-in-your-mouth”.

And “Kebab” is a dish of pieces of meat or vegetables roasted or grilled on a skewer or spit, as per Google.

So Galouti Kebab is a snack which is so soft in texture which melts in your mouth.

ORIGIN OF GALOUTI KEBAB

Hailing from Lucknow, India, Galouti kebabs were originated way back in the 17th century in the royal kitchens of the Nawabs.

Originally, made from minced meat and a blend of spices, Galouti Kebab are such a popular street food of the said city and has become one of the identity of the place.

MUSHROOM GALOUTI KEBAB

Mushroom Galouti Kebab are the vegan mimic of Lucknow’s popular Galouti kebabs made out of non veg.

Mushrooms are considered as the best substitute for non-veg due to their meaty texture and umami flavor. When processed and blended with medley of warming spices, mushrooms achieve an unparalleled richness that will leave even meat lovers guessing.

Don’t tell the person you are serving these kebabs and and you’ll witness a delightful sense of surprise as people struggle to identify the main ingredient or whether the dish is vegan, vegetarian, or non-vegetarian.

Really , the versatility of Mushrooms allow them to be used in various dishes traditionally made with meat.

Apart is their irresistibly soft texture, these kebabs are made without any animal products or gluten, are so tender and creamy that they almost dissolve the moment they touch the tongue, requiring no effort to chew.

True to their name, “galouti” meaning thereby “something that melts,” these kebabs stay true to their name.

STEP-WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF EASY MUSHROOM GALOUTI KEBAB RECIPE

MAKING OF MUSHROOMS PASTE

Boil mushrooms for 10 minutes.

Drain and let the mushrooms cool completely.

Grind to a fine paste.

MAKING OF ONION BARISTA PASTE

Take a microwave safe dish and add thinly sliced onions, oil and pinch of salt. Mix well.

NOTE : Onion barista can be made in a pan also by cooking onions in oil but it takes so much of oil. That’s why we have made in microwave using just 1 tsp of oil. In the absence of microwave, you can restore to pan method (see here).

Initially microwave for 5 minutes on high power (900). If cooking in pan, let the onions cook partly.

Thereafter add cashews and garlic cloves. Mix.

Microwave for 5 more minutes.

Stir once.

Microwave for 3 more minutes or until onion turns brown.

Once it is completely cool, add to the grinder jar alongwith green cardamoms and bit of water.

Grind to a fine paste. Keep aside.

MAKING OF DOUGH FOR MUSHROOM GALOUTI KABAB

Take oil in a pan. Add mushrooms paste alongwith red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt.

Give it a good mix. Now start cooking it while stirring occasionally.

Cook it till all the moisture of mushrooms is gone and they start leaving the sides of the pan.

Remove the pan from the heat and add onion paste. Give them a good mix.

The mixture will still be loose to bind into kababs. So add chickpeas flour (sattu), spoon by spoon and keep mixing. In place of sattu, you can add gram flour as well but do roast it before using.

When the mixture turns cool, take a bit of the portion of mixture and shape it into patties/kababs. But do grease your hands with oil before doing this step otherwise mixture will stick to the hands. With the given amount of mixture, we managed to make 8 kababs.

COOKING BY SHALLOW FRYING METHOD

Take a little amount of oil in a non stick pan and let the oil heat up. Arrange kababs in the pan but do not overcrowd the pan.

Cook on low heat until brown from both the sides.

COOKING BY AIR FRYER METHOD

Lightly grease the Air Fryer basket and arrange a butterpaper in it. Butterpaper must carry the tiny holes allowing the air to pass through.

Arrange the kababs in it and brush them lightly with oil.

Initially, air fry @200°C for 5 minutes.

Turn the sides of the kababs and further air fry for 3 more minutes. However every air fryer is different so the cooking timing may vary. The very purpose is to brown the kababs from both the sides.

Mushroom Galouti Kababs are ready.

SERVING

In the restaurants, these kababs are generally served by having mini parathas or pita or mini kukchas underneath, mushroom Galouti Kabab surrounded by onion ring and coriander leave over the top. Green chutney goes well with it as an accompaniment. However this paratha part is optional and you can enjoy these kababs as it is just with a dip.
