Chef Guntas also shared the following tips in the caption:

• Since this is the healthier version of the recipe – we’re using sweet potato instead of regular potatoes.
• Shallow fry the kebabs instead of deep frying them.
• Avoid using bread crumbs to make it healthier but if the mix is not holding shape, you can add bread crumbs as a binding agent.
• These kebabs are protein rich and healthy for snack time.
