notes
to make hung curd  tie curds in a muslin cloth for2-3 hours 
To save time you can pressure cook the meat or mince with the dal and spices
I use mince to make this but you can use meat pieces .
after shaping these kebab you can keep it in the fridge for sometimes  it becomes easier to fry them .
If you wish you could coat some breadcrumbs before you fry.
You can add nuts as well along with the hung  curd mixture.
