Instructions To begin making your Nadru Ke Kabab, in a pressure cooker, add tomatoes, Ginger, garlic, onion, capsicum, cashew and 1/4th cup water (to avoid burning). Pressure cook this till one whistle on high flame and the simmer and cook further till two more whistles.Cool the contents and grind into a fine paste in a mixer grinder. Sieve it and keep aside.In a bowl, mix boiled potatoes and boiled lotus stem along with the rest of the ingredients for making kabab. Mix well.Now take a tablespoon full of this mix and roll between your hands to make a kabab. Apply a little oil if sticky, but do not add any more flour. Lotus stems and potatoes have a sticky texture so it’s fine.Coat with bread crumbs. Make all the kebabs like this and keep them in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.Heat Oil in a Wok and start frying after refrigerating. Fry on a medium-high flame to avoid oiliness. Keep these aside till you make the gravy.Heat ghee/ clarified butter in a pan. Add the tomato puree, salt and garam masala. Sauté this on simmer till it leaves ghee on the sides of the pan.Add the Makhani mixture which we had pressure cooked earlier. Add tomato ketchup and cook until done.For Tempering, heat a little Ghee in a tadka pan. One it’s warm, add degi mirch, saute for 2-5 seconds and take the pan off heat.
