Wash the chana dal thoroughly and soak it for 30 minutes.
In a pressure cooker, combine minced meat, soaked chana dal, onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt with a little water.
Cook for 4–5 whistles or until both the meat and dal are tender and the water has evaporated.
Let the mixture cool completely, then grind it into a smooth paste.
Shape the mixture into small round patties.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and shallow-fry the kababs for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with mint chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges.
