1/2 cup chana dal (split Bengal gram)
1 1/2 cups yam (suran), finely chopped
1/2 cup onions, sliced
1 1/2 tsp grated ginger (adrak)
2 cloves of garlic (lehsun), chopped

1/4 cup chopped mint leaves (phudina)

Method
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan, add the chana dal and sauté it till it is light pink in colour.
Cool and grind the chana dal to a powder. Keep aside.
In another pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies till the onions turn translucent.
Add the suran and cook over a slow flame for 5 to 7 minutes. Add ½ cup of water and cover and cook till the suran is soft and all the moisture has evaporated.
Cool and grind to a paste along with the mint without using any water.
Combine the chana dal powder, suran mixture, chaat masala, garam masala and salt and mix well.
Divide into 4 equal portions and shape them into kebabs on metal skewers that are 100 mm. (4") long.
Brush each kebab with a little oil.
Grill over a charcoal or electric barbeque till they are lightly browned on all sides.
Serve hot with green chutney and onion rings.
