Chances are, that if you have attended parties or weddings in India,you would have, at some time or other, been served these kebabs! Hugely popular at social functions, these Hara Bhara Kebabs are equally easy to prepare at home.
Despite it's name, these kebabs are more like vegetable cutlets. Spinach and green peas give it the vibrant green colour while potatoes give it substance. Combine these three, add few other ingredients like ginger, green chillies etc to spice things up and we are ready to roll.
Ingredients:
3,4 boiled potatoes, medium size
3/4 cup green peas, boiled
2 cups spinach
1 tsp chopped green chillies
2 tbsp chopped green coriander
1 tbsp chopped ginger
1 tsp chaat masala
Salt to taste
2 tbsp cornflour
Oil to fry
Method: Peel and grate boiled potatoes. Mash boiled green peas. Blanch spinach leaves in boiling water and refresh in cold water. Squeeze out excess water and finely chop. Also finely chop ginger, green chillies and coriander leaves.
Mix the potates, green peas, spinach, green chillies, coriander leaves, ginger, chaat masala and salt. Also add cornflour for binding. Grease your hands and taking a small portion of mixture, give it a round shape of ball and then flatten it to give a kabab shape. Form the other kababs in a similar fashion. Keep aside. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan and deep fry three to four kababs at a time, on medium heat, till crisp. Remove on absorbent paper. Serve hot with chutney.
Alternately, you can shallow fry on tava. To get a more vivid green colour add some more spinach but accordingly increase cornflour too.
