Rajma Kebab Sliders — with layers of a crisp veggies, smoky rajma kebab, and melty cheese, this is the ultimate slider recipe! Brushed with herbed garlic butter, drizzled with avocado crema, and topped with fresh strawberry salsa, these kidney bean kebab sliders are fresh, bright, and so satisfying!

WATCH HOW TO MAKE RAJMA KEBAB SLIDERS:

For our kebabs, we’ll blend rajma (kidney beans), ginger, garlic, and green chilies into a paste. Saute some onions and add in grated beets. Then, in goes our boiled potatoes for some body, followed by our rajma mixture and some corn. Mix this together and finish with some spices, soy sauce for depth, oregano, and cilantro. In goes a squeeze of lemon for brightness and breadcrumbs to bind it all together. Give this a final mix and our filling is ready to shape into kebabs!

Pan fry these in some oil or ghee until nice and golden brown and it’s time to assemble the sliders!

One one side of the buns, spread some homemade mint cilantro chutney. Then, we’ll sprinkle on a generous layer of cheese. I used mozzarella but any melty cheese works great! Then, we’ll go in with some thinly sliced veggies like onions, cabbage, and bell peppers. Top each bun with our rajma kebabs and finish with some more cheese and veggies.

On the other bun, spread some sriracha mayo and gently place on top of your sliders. Poke some holes on top of our buns and brush with herbed garlic butter for that incredible flavor to infuse throughout!

Bake this until golden brown and just look that insane cheese pull! These are truly so good, especially when you drizzle it with avocado crema and some fresh strawberry salsa! Enjoy!

Instructions

1. In a blender, blend the rajma, green chilies, ginger, and garlic until the mixture comes together.

2. In a pan, heat oil on medium heat and add in onions until slightly translucent and browned. Then, add in the beets and saute for 4-5 minutes until the water dries up.

3. Add in potatoes and mix gently. Then, fold in your rajma mixture, all the spices, soy sauce, lemon juice, cilantro, and breadcrumbs until it’s mixed through. Take this off the heat and let cool.

5. To assemble the slides, slice your buns in half and place them on a balking dish. One side, generously spread your green chutney. Layer on half of your cheese and half of your veggies. Place your rajma kebabs on top and finish with the remaining cheese and veggies. On the other bun, spread your sriracha mayo and gently place this on top.

6. Poke some small holes on top of your buns and brush it with your garlic herbed butter.

7. Cover the buns with foil and bake at 375°F/190℃ for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melty.

8. Once baked, drizzle with your avocado crema and top with strawberry salsa. Serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

• You can shape the kebabs and cut the veggies a day in advance. Just pan fry the kebabs and assemble the sliders when you are ready to serve.
• To make mint-cilantro chutney at home, grind 1 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup fresh mint, 1 inch ginger (roughly chopped), 3 thai chilies, 2 tbsp thick sev bhujiya, 2 cloves peeled garlic (optional), 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, pinch hing, 1/4 tsp black salt, 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste), pinch sugar, 3 tsp lemon juice with 2 tbsp chilled iced water (adjust as per need). Keep the chutney a little bit on the thicker side, don't make it too runny. If you are making this for spreading on a sandwich then add 1/2 slice of small bread to it.
