Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Prepare the Kurkej Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed boiled potatoes, chopped capsicum, chopped cabbage, grated carrots, chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, coriander leaves, salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder, garam masala powder, and coriander seeds powder. Add 2-3 tablespoons of semolina and 2-3 tablespoons of corn flour for binding.

  2. Knead the Dough

    all the ingredients together thoroughly with your hands to form a stiff, well-combined dough.

  3. Shape the Kurkej

    Take a small portion of the dough and roll it between your palms to form narrow, oblong shapes, similar to seekh kebabs.

  4. Dust with Refined Flour

    Lightly dust the shaped kurkej with refined flour, ensuring each piece is well coated. This helps prevent them from breaking during frying. Allow them to rest for some time.

  5. Deep Fry the Kurkej

    Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kurkej into the hot oil. Deep fry them until they are crisp and golden brown on all sides.

  6. Serve

    Once the kurkej are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a serving plate. Serve hot.
