Method

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the chana dal and sauté on a slow flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
Cool slightly and grind the chana dal to a powder. Keep aside.
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in the same pan, add the cabbage and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the bananas, green chillies and mint leaves, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Remove from the flame and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste. Keep aside.
Combine the chana dal powder, banana paste, salt, dry ginger powder, chaat masala and garam masala and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into 75 mm. (3") oval kebabs.
Heat a greased non-stick tava (griddle) on a medium flame and cook the kebabs using a little oil till they are golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Sprinkle some chaat masala on the kebabs and serve immediately with green chutney.
