Ingredients
 

For hara bhara kabab

  • 2 bunch or 120 grm spinach - palak leaves
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tbsp jeera
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 tbsp green chilli
  • 2 medium size chopped capsicum
  • ½ cup green peas
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves
  • 4-5 or 300 g boiled and mashed potatoes
  • 1 tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp jeera powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp amchur powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 tbsp roasted besan
  • 1/4 + ¼ bread crumbs
  • 5-6 cashews
  • Chaat masala

For bread crumbs

  • 4-5 crushed white part of bread

Instructions

  • In a pan, boil some water and add spinach leaves.  cook it for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, the leaves will be all shriveled up. This is called blanching the spinach. Remove from pan and add into cold water. Set aside.
  • Now in a pan, add 2 tbsp ghee, cumin seeds, chopped ginger and green chili and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Now add green peas (I kept frozen peas in warm water for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the pan), chopped capsicum and blanched spinach leaves.
  • Cook the mixture till there's no or very little moisture left in it. This will take 2-3 minutes.
  • Let the mixture cool down a bit meanwhile in a pan, add the crushed white part of the bread and dry roast till it becomes crispy. Homemade bread crumbs are ready
  • Then transfer it to a blender. Add mint and coriander leaves to it and grind to a paste.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add boiled and mashed potatoes, black salt, cumin powder, garam masala, amchur powder and salt.
  • Now add roasted besan and bread crumbs to the mixture. Mix everything together till it forms a nice dough.
  • Take a little dough the size of a lemon in your hand and form a round pattie. Press half cashew on it.
  • Now coat all kabab with bread crumbs.
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, place the patties on the pan. fry till golden brown from both sides.
  • Serve hot with coriander chutney and salad.

Notes

  • ghee gives a nice flavor to kabab mixture.
  • sauté boiled palak with vegetable mixture, so its moisture will absorb.
  • dry roasted crushed bread on medium flame to make bread crumbs.
  • roasted gram flour (besan) and bread crumbs give perfect binding to kabab.
  • fry kabab on medium flame.
