Ingredients

Scale

Rajma Kebab:

  • 1½ cups rajma (kidney beans), boiled or canned
  • 2 green chilies
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small beetroot, grated
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and grated
  • 1½ tsp taco seasoning
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • Ghee or oil, for pan frying

Veggies:

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup multicolor cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp mixed color bell peppers, sliced

Slider Assembly:

  • 9 slider buns
  • 3 cups mint cilantro chutney
  • 1 cup cheese
  • 3 tbsp sriracha mayo
  • 2 tbsp herbed garlic butter (2 tbsp melted butter mixed with 1 clove grated garlic and mixed herbs)
  • Avocado crema (see Tandoori Paneer Tacos with Avocado Crema recipe)
  • Strawberry salsa (see Strawberry Salsa recipe)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, blend green chilies, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
  2. Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until translucent. Add the chili-ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1–2 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the rajma beans coarsely. Add sautéed onions, beetroot, boiled potatoes, spices, soy sauce, lemon juice, cilantro, and breadcrumbs. Mix well to combine.
  4. Shape mixture into small patties. Heat ghee or oil in a pan and fry the patties on medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Toss the sliced veggies lightly if desired.
  6. To assemble sliders, spread herbed garlic butter on buns and toast lightly. Spread mint cilantro chutney and sriracha mayo on buns.
  7. Layer the bottom bun with a rajma kebab, cheese, veggies, avocado crema, and strawberry salsa. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra binding, you can add an egg or a flax egg to the kebab mixture.
  • If fresh rajma isn’t available, canned beans work perfectly.
  • Customize spice levels by adjusting green chilies and red chili powder.
  • Serve with extra chutney or sriracha mayo on the side for dipping.
