Treat your ingredients with care...

Potatoes — Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are fully cooked and easily mashable. This will ensure a smooth texture for the potato patties.
Green chilies — Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. You can also remove the seeds for a milder heat.
Cilantro — Use fresh cilantro for the best flavor. Wash it thoroughly and chop it just before adding it to the potato mixture.

Tips & Tricks

For extra crispiness, you can coat the potato patties with breadcrumbs before frying.
Experiment with different types of buns, such as sesame seed buns or whole wheat buns, to add variety to the dish.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle some red chili flakes on top of the potato patty before assembling the bun.

Serving advice

Serve the Bun Kebabs with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or as a delicious snack.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can wrap the Bun Kebabs in parchment paper or serve them on a wooden board. Garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro for an added touch of elegance.
