Healthy Dahi Kababs

Dahi Kababs are a classic delicacy from North India, known for their melt-in-the-mouth texture and tangy, spiced flavor. Traditionally, they are made by mixing hung curd (thick yogurt) with paneer, besan or bread crumbs, and mild spices, then shaping into patties and frying. The result is a kebab that’s crisp outside while staying soft and creamy inside.

This healthy version avoids deep-frying and instead uses shallow frying or air-frying to reduce oil without compromising taste. Hung curd provides a probiotic-rich base, while paneer adds protein and structure. Gram flour or oats powder helps bind the mixture, and finely chopped vegetables like onions, carrots, or bell peppers add texture and nutrition.

These kababs are versatile—you can serve them as starters with mint chutney, tuck them into wraps, or even enjoy them as a tea-time snack. They can be prepared ahead and cooked just before serving, making them convenient for parties or family meals.
