Dahi kabab is an Indian mughalai cuisine.As name suggests “dahi kabab “is very soft in texture and melt in mouth delicacy.Basically dahi kababs are made of hung yoghurt and roasted gram flour and are stuffed with dryfruits or paneer or chopped ginger,green chilli etc. but variation are everywhere and more or less kababs are similar wherever we go in India.Recently,I visited India and got chance to have'em in one of the restaurant in New Delhi.Here they were slightly different and made of dahi-potato-saffron with minimal seasoning.No stuffing at all and served with spicy green mint-coriander chutney.Saffron gives them distinctive yellow color and nice aroma.Hence, I tried myself to replicate them in my kitchen.
