Method
1
Finely chop the mushrooms, grate and squeeze the onion dry, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, finely chop the green chilli, and chop the fresh coriander.
Approx. 10 minutes
2
Heat a dry frying pan over high heat. Cook the finely chopped mushrooms for 5 minutes, stirring often, until all moisture has evaporated and they are dry. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
Approx. 5 minutes
3
In a food processor, pulse the black beans until roughly mashed — not completely smooth, leave some texture.
Approx. 2 minutes
4
Combine the beans with the dry mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger, green chilli, fresh coriander, chickpea flour, and all the spices. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
Approx. 60 minutes
5
Preheat the grill to its highest setting. Line a baking tray with foil and brush with oil.
Approx. 5 minutes
6
With wet hands, mould the mixture firmly onto flat metal skewers, forming even cylinders. Brush all over with oil.
Approx. 5 minutes
7
Grill for 12–15 minutes, turning carefully every 4 minutes, until evenly charred and holding their shape.
Approx. 15 minutes
8
Sprinkle with chaat masala and serve immediately with lemon wedges and fresh mint chutney.
Approx. 2 minutes
