Chef’s Note

• Do not increase the heat excessively while frying. If the oil is too hot, the pastry can develop bubbles or blisters and soften after cooling.

Tips & Tricks

• Slow frying at medium-low temperature produces a more evenly coloured and crisp pastry that stays crunchy for longer.

1. Heat oil in a wok or pan, sauté finely chopped garlic and green chillies, then add thinly sliced onions and cook until softened.
2. Add chicken strips and cook thoroughly until tender and well combined.
3. Season with white vinegar, soy sauce, chilli sauce, and Schezwan sauce for a vibrant Indo-Chinese flavor profile.
4. Stir in julienned carrots, sliced mushrooms, shredded cabbage, tricolor bell peppers, spring onions, and salt, cooking until vegetables retain a slight crunch.
5. Allow the filling to cool completely, then place a portion onto each spring roll wrapper, fold tightly, seal edges with flour paste, and roll securely.
6. Deep fry on medium-low heat, turning gently until golden and crispy; drain on a wire rack and serve hot. Iftaar Karjo ane Iftaar Karav jo!

Chef’s Note

• For extra crunch, keep the vegetable filling slightly undercooked so it finishes cooking inside the roll as it fries.
• Always fry spring rolls on medium-low heat; high heat browns the wrapper quickly but leaves the inside soggy.

Tips & Tricks

• A wire rack is better than tissue for draining, as it keeps the crust crisp. Jamjo ane Jamarjo!

Chef’s Note

• Ajwain is the hero here. It gives warmth, aroma, and a sharp lift to the mince.
• Don’t skip the slow frying on medium-low heat. That’s what keeps the crust crisp and the inside soft.

1. Combine boneless mutton, soaked chana dal, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and salt with water, then pressure cook until tender and fully cooked.
2. Once cooked and moisture is dried out, grind the mutton and chana dal mixture into a smooth, cohesive kebab mince.
3. Mix in cumin powder, garam masala, ajwain, chopped green chillies, fresh mint, coriander leaves, lemon juice, and grated onion with water squeezed out.
4. Take a portion of the spiced mutton mince, flatten it evenly on your palm, place a boiled egg in the center, and carefully wrap the mince all around the egg to seal it completely without cracks.
5. Dip the assembled kebab into beaten eggs, roll in bread crumbs, and coat thoroughly with crushed roasted vermicelli for that signature floral texture.
6. Heat oil in a deep kadhai and fry the Nargisi Kebabs on medium heat until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Cut in half to reveal the stunning eye-like shape resembling blooming Narcissus flowers and serve hot!

Chef’s Note

• Traditionally, mutton was ground on a sil batta, and soaked raw chana dal was added gradually to tighten the mixture.
• The pressure cooking method used today saves time while keeping the kebabs soft, moist, and flavourful.

Tips & Tricks

• Serve hot with Mint Chutney, Ketchup, and Lemon wedges. These kebabs make an excellent festive starter or daawat special. Jamjo ane Jamarjo!

Chef’s Note

• The charcoal smoke (dhunghaar) gives this traditional pattice its unmistakable authentic aroma and depth. Don't skip it!
• Ensure the kheema mixture is completely dry before mixing in the fresh onions, eggs, and herbs so the pattice holds its shape perfectly during frying.
