Roast some chickpea flour (besan) slightly to bring out a nutty flavor.

Squeeze the water out of the onions to avoid making the mixture too dry.

Roast half a tablespoon of cumin seeds and half a tablespoon of coriander seeds, then crush them into a powder.

Add the crushed spices and the rest of the ingredients to the mixture and mix well.

Make round balls from the mixture, using oil on your hands to prevent sticking.

Insert a chopstick through each ball and shape it into a kebab gently.

Optionally, leave the kebabs on skewers to prevent shrinking during cooking.

Line the shaped kebabs on a baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the kebabs for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them over at the halfway point.

Serve the kebabs with mint raita or green chutney.
