Method
0/6 doneStep 1: Put 6 oz sweetcorn kernels, 6 ½ oz kidney beans, 1 in fresh ginger, 7 oz potato, ⅔ oz fresh fenugreek leaves, ⅔ oz fresh spinach, 3 garlic cloves, 3 green chillies, ¼ tsp garam masala, 3 tsp lemon juice, 4 tbsp breadcrumbs and 1 tsp salt in a bowl.
Step 2: Mix well and mash slightly, so the mixture holds together but still has some whole corn and beans. Add a little more breadcrumbs if it's too soft to shape.
Step 3: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
Step 4: Press each portion around a skewer with your fingers to make a kebab about 10 cm long.
Step 5: Brush each kebab with 2 tbsp oil and cook over a charcoal barbecue, turning, until evenly browned on all sides.
12 minStep 6: Cut into pieces and serve hot with green chutney and mint and yogurt chutney.

Sabudana khichdiSago with peanuts and potato
Sabudana khichdi is the dish that sees Maharashtra through every vrat (fast), from Navratri to Ekadashi, but it's so good that people eat it any day of the week. Soaked sago pearls are tossed in a pan with crushed roasted peanuts, cubes of potato, cumin and green chilli until each pearl turns glassy and separate, then finished with lemon and coriander. It's soft, chewy, nutty and gently hot. Fasting rules vary from family to family, so check yours; this version uses rock salt and no asafoetida, onion or garlic. Traditionally it's cooked in ghee; use ghee instead of oil if you aren't keeping it vegan. Chef's tip: soak the sago in just enough water to cover by the height of the pearls themselves, no more; too much water is the reason khichdi turns into one sticky lump.
Bagara bainganBaby aubergines in peanut sesame sauce
Bagara baingan is a Hyderabadi wedding dish of small aubergines cooked whole in a dark, tangy gravy of roasted peanuts, sesame, dried coconut and tamarind. Unlike a Gujarati stuffed brinjal, the aubergines here are only quartered at the base and fried until silky, then left to soak up a thin-but-rich sauce that is finished with a tempering, the 'baghar' that gives the dish its name. It's sour, nutty and gently spiced, and is served with biryani, bagara rice or plain rice. Chef's tip: choose small, glossy purple aubergines that feel heavy for their size; soft, light ones are full of seeds and turn mushy before the gravy has a chance to cling.
Masala khakhraCrisp roasted wheat crackers
Khakhra are thin chapaties roasted slowly on a griddle until they turn crisp, like a cracker. This masala version adds gram flour, fresh fenugreek, turmeric and chilli to the wheat dough. They are a light Gujarati breakfast or tea-time snack, and lovely with pickle, chutney or a smear of butter. You can also make them in a roti maker.
