Hara Bhara Kababs

22:27 by SumanaNo comments

Hara Bhara Kebab is very popular veg starter in India, especially North India. This kabab is available in almost all decent restaurants in India and is a must have for all veg lovers. This is very mouthwatering and made by some green vegetables like spinach, green peas, coriander leaves, potato and paneer. In this recipe spinach and green peas are hero. Hara bhara kabab is a very healthy dish because of its ingredients. In this recipe I have shallow fried the kebabs but you have one more option, deep fry it. Actually me and my family like the aroma of smoke so I chose the first option; means shallow fry.

Recipe:

At first boil green peas and make a paste in the mixer. Dry roast cumin seeds, red chili and cardamom, clove, cinnamon and grind it in the mixer to make a spice powder and keep aside with a lid. Now heat 1 tbsp oil or ghee in a pan and put the green peas paste. Keep stirring and add salt and a pinch of sugar. After a while, spread the freshly prepared spice powder.

Now take a large bowl and take flour, 5-6 tbsp oil, a pinch of salt and mix it gently. Now add sufficient water to make dough. Make small balls from the dough, make it shape like a small bowl, put a small portion of green peas paste and fold it. Take it in one palm and place the other palm on top and rotate it. This will now look like balls stuffed with green peas paste. Now roll the balls into circles. Do not try to make this too thin as the stuffing will come out then.

Now heat sufficient oil in a deep pan or kadai and fry the kachuris one by one till they puff up and you see light golden colour.

Serve hot kachuri with aloor dum.  I would recommend keep the last one or two pieces of kachuri to be eaten with semiya kheer. This should complete a sumptuous dinner.
