Hara Bhara Kabab is a green vegetable-loaded vegetarian kabab that tastes just heavenly delicious with garlic yogurt dip. It is a perfect appetizer or an evening snack to enjoy when you are looking for some light snacking.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and ginger. Saute till the raw smell of ginger goes away.
Now add green peas, beans, bell peppers, and spinach leaves. Sprinkle a dash of salt.
Cook on medium heat until veggies are slightly soft for about 7-8 minutes.
Let the green veggies cool a bit and then grind them t make a fine paste along with coriander leaves.
In a mixing bowl add the green vegetable paste. Add boiled potatoes, paneer bread crumbs,salt, mango powder, and chaat masala. Mix well to make a smooth dough-like mixture.
Now apply some oil to your palms. Take a lemon size mixture in your hands.
Make small round balls from the mixture and flatten them to make a patty shape. Place cashew halves in the centre.
Likewise, make the rest of the kababs.
Heat oil in a saucepan. Fry the kebabs in oil until golden and crispy from both sides.
Drain on kitchen towel and serve hot with garlic yogurt dip and ketchup.
Make Garlic Yogurt Dip
Add all the ingredients in yogurt. Mix well and it is ready to serve.
Refrigerate until use.
Notes
Make sure there isn't any water left in the green veggies once they are cooked.
Grind the green veggies into a thick paste. Do not add any water for grinding.
Apply oil on your palms before shaping the patties as they might stick into your hands.
If you have nut allergies you can skip adding the cashew nuts.
Instead of shallow frying you can also deep fry the kababs.
Store the leftover kabab at room temperature or in an airtight box in the refrigerator.
