Jainism preaches ahimsa which means non-violence and harm to none. Keeping that in my mind I tried to create a jain version of kebab (which is a really popular food but hardly available as a vegetarian option let alone jain) so everyone of us can enjoy it without harming any animals.

This Jain Chinese Kebab is not only a mouth watering dish but also a clean eat as it has lots of vegetables and only a tiny bit of oil. Enough of me talking. I’ll leave you be to the recipe. Have fun making it. 🙂

Instructions

1. Take a chopper or a food processor. Add cabbages, capsicums, chilli, celery leaves and sticks.

   
2. When it's finely chopped, squeeze it to remove all the water and keep is aside.
3. Put it in a bowl and mix all the remaining ingredients.

   
4. Now shape it in whichever shape you like, I used the round shape.
5. Heat oil in a fry pan. Put the kebabs in it. Shallow fry it on both the sides until it turns golden brown.

   
6. Serve hot with jain schezwan sauce and ketchup.
