     1/2  cup           fresh cilantro leaves -- coarsely chopped
   2                    fresh hot green chilies

   1 1/2  teaspoons     cumin seeds
   1 1/2  teaspoons     coriander seeds

     1/2                egg -- lightly beaten
     1/4  cup           vegetable oil

Preparation:

Put chickpea flour in small cast-iron frying pan and stir around over medium heat until flour has turned a light brown color. Put it into bowl. Add all other ingredients except oil and mix well. Form ten 2-inch balls. Fatten the balls to make 10 3 1/2-inch hamburger patties. Just before eating put 2 tablespoons of oil into large nonstick frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When oil is hot put in as many kebabs as the pan will hold in single layer. Turning them over every 20 seconds or so cook the kebabs for about 2 1/2 minutes or until they have browned on both sides. Remove to warm plate. Use remaining oil to cook second batch.
