Salams dear , may I know what do limro leaves mean?
W/Salaam, curry leaves or curry pata. Please google the word to see images, you may recognise the pic that way.
Assalaamualaikum Fauzia when i fry it is it suppposed to be deep fried or shallow fried.
W/Salaam, I shallow-fry them in a non-stick pan normally, but either is fine.
Salaams Fauzia,
You do not add egg to the mixture? Would the batter fall apart? Also, can we freeze these kebabs?
Thanks a million!
W/Salaam, yes I do not add egg in this kabab recipe, they don’t fall apart. You can add if you like but I have a different kabab recipe that takes egg, check the one titled Ma’akouda in this same folder.
Can you freeze these and then fry up another day?
Potato dishes are best done fresh but yes you can freeze them if you like, just make sure to fry them directly from the freezer into the hot oil. If you let them thaw they will scatter in the oil.

NO .. I DIDNT FREEZ THEM … MAY BE BEACUS EOF THAT ,, JUST TEL ME HOW MUCH TIME SHOLUD I FREEZ THEM ???
You are not supposed to
You are not supposed to freeze them, I asked in order to determine why yours scattered. Did you boil the potatoes with the peel on or did you peel and then boil?
