Oal/Suran/Jimikand Chapli Kebabs

This month I was very occupied with much work, but I still wanted to participate in A to Z challenge

So I decided to make veg Chapli Kebab using O for Oal this month. challenge'

Chapli Kebabs are usually made from ground beef, mutton, or chicken with spices in the shape of a patty.

The Chapli Kabab originally comes from the northern areas of Pakistan, Chapli kebab is a large and flattened ground meat patty. It has crunchy due to coarsely grounded spices. Tangy and nutty taste comes from Anardana.

Vegetarians can use soya nuggets, and potatoes for chapli kebabs but here I am using Oal which is also known as Jimikand, Suran and in English, it is called Yam.

This month we have the word O for the A to Z challenge and there is no other ingredient that starts from the word O so I choose Oal.

Another popular Non-vegetarian kebab I have converted into a vegetarian version. 

As we all know Oal has a tendency of itchiness if not treated properly, so I applied salt over it and then, later on, washed it with vinegar which helped me remove its itchiness.
