Hara bhara kabab -Mildly spiced Spinach, Peas and Potato Patties – from North India

Hara bhara kabab is the most popular vegetarian kabab of North India, you can find this in every restaurant’s menu card. Addition of spinach, cottage cheese and peas make it healthy and rich in Iron, Folic Acid , Calcium and Fiber. It is mildly flavored and easy to cook and easy to digest.you can also use these kabab to make healthy burgers for children.

There are few versions and variations of making these kabab, today I am sharing my hassle-free way of making Hara Bhara Kababs.

How To Make Hara Bhara Kabab

To make these hara bhara kabab first we have to blanch the spinach leaves in hot boiling water till they wilt and then immedietely add  them in ice cold water . This step is done to retain the bright green colour of the spinach leaves. Grind green peas and green chilies along with spinach leaves.
Now saute semolina and the spinach mix for few minutes to dry the mixture. Let this mixture cool down then add mashed boiled potatoes , paneer and the remaining spices and mix well.
Shape into round kabab and pres a cashew piece in the center. Now shallow  fry the kabab till nice light golden in colour. Don’t over cook else the color will become brown instead of green.
Serve hara bhara kabab with dahi chutney , ketchup or any dip of your choice.

Notes

My Notes-

2-You may substitute semolina with corn flour or roasted gram flour (add it at step-10).
