Paneer Stuffed Hara Bhara Kabab

Hey my foodie friends. Today's recipe is Paneer Stuffed Hara Bhara Kabab. As the name says it all its an easy guess of hero ingredients for the recipe. Recently I have shared how to make Hara Bhara Kabab in my blog. If you have missed that, then read recipe here. An easy and healthy snacking option. It has all nutrition of green leafs of spinach, coriander along with ginger and potatoes. In this recipe I have added the protein pack paneer to the recipe. And today's recipe turned out as a better version of the regular one.

The 3 step process for this recipe:

1. Prepare Stuffing: Saute 4 minced garlic + ½ finely chopped onion + ½ tsp red chilli powder + ¼ tsp chat masala + salt as per taste + scrumbled cottage cheese.
2. Prepare Mixture of Boiled & mashed potatoes + blanched & minced spinach + blanched green peas
3. Make balls and stuff the masala and then seal. Shallow fry or deep fry.

There are few things to keep in mind to make perfect kababs. Few lessons which I have learned from my experience are:

Boil and keep them in refrigerator over night or for some hours at least to cool them properly. If you add corn starch to the hot mixture then it will become sticky and difficult to bind. Also after blanching spinach and peas dry them completely. Squeeze out excess water from spinach. Keep aside for some time & then again squeeze out water till last drop. The leafy vegetables are watery and tend to release water. No need to grind it. Mince it finely with help of mortar & pastel. Once you feel all ingredients are dry enough & not sticky or watery then add them together to make the mixture. I have learned them from my experience. So if you plan to make such kabab start preparation well in advance.
