Kebabs are also called kebabs. Kebabs are popular in mid-eastern countries. The most common method of preparing kebabs is by grilling. Traditionally, a variety of meat is marinated with spices and grilled to make kebabs.
In this recipe, I have used vegetables and lentils to make kebabs with higher nutritional values. I have experimented with using an Air fryer to avoid frying. This is a healthier version of kebabs and kebabs taste so delicious. You can enjoy these kebabs as a party snack or a tea-time snack. You can use these kebabs as patties in a burger.
The red lentils used in this recipe are low in calories and are a rich source of plant-based proteins, folic acid, zinc, iron, and fibers. The vegetables used to make these kebabs rich in fibers, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K.
