Hara Bhara Kabab | Spinach & Green Peas Patties
Hara Bhara Kabab as the name suggests its quite obvious that its made from green (hara bhara) ingredients. Spinach & Green peas are the green parts in the recipe.
These patties are easy yet healthy snacking option with minimal ingredients. Serve them hot with any kind of sauce or chutney.
It has all nutrition from super foods like spinach and green peas. This is very common vegetarian kabab in India.
The binding agent used are potatoes and corn flour/ starch. After the patties are made they are either shallow fried or deep fried. If you want to make this a healthier option then you must bake these patties.
I always prefer to shallow fry the kababs and cutlets in an open pan.

I've been tripling this recipe and making them larger sizes as burgers, about 3 Tablespoons of the mix, making around 12ish good size burgers. Everyone who has ever tried these absolutely loves them and is impressed with the smell from the kitchen after I cook them. Instead of the green chilies, I substitute 1 onion and 4 crushed garlic cloves. I love garlic and too many people I know are sensitive to spicy. I only just realized the corn flour can be substituted with corn Starch, I'm wondering what the difference in texture would be? Is it going to ge sticky or gummy? Thank you for the recipe!

if you will add the starch to hot stuff it will make the mixture sticky and will take more of cornstarch to shape them. it's corn starch only not the cornflour. Some brands of starch mention this as corn flour which is nothing other than corn starch. I ll clarify that in the post. Thank you so much for your feedback.
