Hara Bhara Kebab

Hara Bhara Kebab is a healthy yet delicious Indian snack. It is prepared with blanched spinach, green peas, potatoes and a handful of spices. Relish it with Green Chutney or Tzatziki Sauce.

Tip: I have added oats flour and bread crumbs to bind the mix. You can do the same or go for either. Always add flour or crumbs in portions as you might not always need full quantity to bind the mix.

2. Take a grinding jar and add blanched spinach, boiled green peas, coriander leaves, green chilli, ginger & garlic. Grind to a fine paste and transfer it to a mixing bowl
3. Add potatoes, dry mango powder, chaat masala powder, garam masala powder and salt. Mix and add oats flour & bread crumbs in portions to make a non-sticky mix, not stiff. Add in portions as you might not even need whole quantity of oats flour or bread crumbs
