Critical Success Points

  • Soak black chickpeas and chilies thoroughly for proper texture.
  • Grind kebab mixture coarsely, not to a paste.
  • Do not add extra binders; use only water as needed.
  • Cook chili mixture for dip in a ventilated area to avoid irritation.
  • Roast kebabs gently; they are delicate and can break if handled roughly.

Safety Warnings

  • Chili fumes can cause sneezing and eye irritation; use exhaust fan and avoid inhaling steam.
  • Be careful when flipping kebabs in hot oil to prevent burns.
  • Check asafoetida label for gluten if you are sensitive.
