Hara Bhara Kabab

This is a personal favourite it often is a full meal for us ..... serve up with a salad, fresh bread, coriander chutney and/or a squeeze of the reliable tomato ketchup. You'll get addicted .... this is brilliant !

Ingredients:

3-4 medium potatoes

3/4 cup green peas (frozen ... as always)

10-12 leaves of spinach (if you're using baby spinach .... double the number)

2 green chillies, finely chopped (more or less or none, ask your taste buds !! )

1 inch pc ginger, very finely chopped (this creates magic, so if you're serving up to someone who dislikes ginger, replace it with ginger paste .... these kababs are lifeless without the ginger)

2-3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander

1 teaspoon chaat masala

1 tablespoon cornflour (2 tablespoons if you're intending to deep fry these ... i never have, coz it doesnt do anything for the flavour)

Salt, to taste

1/4 cup Wheat flour / Refined flour. spread on a plate. for coating the tikkis.

Method:

- Boil potatoes and mash.

- Boil peas and mash.

-Blanch spinach leaves for 2-3 mins in boiling water. Drain and refresh under cold water then squeeze out excess water. Finely chop.

- Add chillies, coriander, ginger, chaat masala, salt. Mix well.

- Add the cornflour and mix well (this will bind everything together)

- Divide the mixture into tikki shapes.

- dust with wheat flour/refined flour.

- take a nonstick fry pan and add oil, warm up on medium heat.

- pan fry kababs 4-5 at a time till golden brown.

ENJOY !!
