Now place your hand on the open part of the skewer and gently remove the kebab, by pushing back ward from the skewer with your fist, this forms kebabs with holes in the center.

Recipe Notes
- If the mixture becomes thin and it's difficult to shape the kebabs then just add a little gram flour or corn flour or cashew powder.
- If the mixture is very dry then you can add a teaspoon of curd to it.
- Skewers are not compulsory to make this as the cylindrical shape can be obtained by anything available at home like a knife or a spoon handle.
- Kebab mixture can be stored in an airtight container for upto 2 weeks in the freezer and can be used when required.
- Adding yellow lentil helps keep the shape intact besides making soft kebabs.
- Egg white helps trap moisture in the kebabs preventing them from becoming dry while grilling.
