Hara Bhara Kebab – Crispy & Healthy Indian Snack

1. Prepare the Kebab Mixture:

• In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, blanched spinach, mashed peas, and crumbled paneer.
• Add ginger paste, green chili, garam masala, chaat masala, cumin powder, coriander leaves, and salt.
• Mix well and add besan or bread crumbs for binding.

2. Shape the Kebabs:

• Grease your hands and divide the mixture into equal portions.
• Shape each portion into flat, round kebabs.
• Lightly coat them with cornflour for extra crispiness.

3. Cook the Kebabs:

• Heat oil in a pan and shallow-fry the kebabs on medium heat.
• Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
• Remove and place on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.

4. Serve & Garnish:

• Serve hot with mint chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with masala chai for an authentic Indian snack experience.
• Use as a filling for wraps or burgers for a fusion twist.

Pro Tips

• For extra crispiness, refrigerate the kebabs for 15 minutes before frying.
• Add a pinch of black salt for a more chatpata (tangy) taste.
• For a healthier version, bake at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes or air-fry until crispy.
