  • 4 mediumPotatoes
  • 1 cupGreen Peas
  • 1 cupGram Flour (Besan)
  • 1.5 tspSalt
  • 1 tspRed Chilli Powder
  • 1 tbspCumin Powder
  • 1 tbspCoriander Powder
  • 1/4 cup, halvedCashews
  • for deep fryingOil

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1.Prepare and Wash Greens

    Thoroughly wash the spinach and coriander leaves. Chop off the thick, tough stems and place the leaves in a large tub of running water to clean them properly.

  2. 2.Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot of boiling water set over a wood fire, add the potatoes. Cook them until they are tender and fully boiled. Use a strainer to remove the cooked potatoes from the water and set them aside.

  3. 3.Boil Greens and Peas

    In a fresh pot of boiling water, add the washed spinach and coriander leaves, followed by the green peas. Boil for a few minutes until the greens are wilted and the peas are tender. Strain the vegetables, ensuring all excess water is drained.

  4. 4.Mash Potatoes and Blend Greens

    Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them into a large mixing bowl. Transfer the boiled and drained green vegetable mixture into a large blender and blend to form a coarse paste.

  5. 5.Mix the Kebab Dough

    Add the blended green paste to the bowl of grated potatoes. Add salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and gram flour. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly and knead into a firm, cohesive dough.

  6. 6.Shape the Kebabs

    Take small portions of the dough, roll them into smooth balls between your palms, and then gently flatten them to create round patties. Press a cashew half into the center of each kebab for garnish. Arrange the shaped kebabs on large trays.

  7. 7.Fry the Kebabs

    Heat a generous amount of oil in a large, wide pan for deep-frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the prepared kebabs into the pan. Fry them on medium heat, flipping them occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

  8. 8.Serve the Kebabs

    Once fried, use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the kebabs from the hot oil and place them on a tray to drain any excess oil. Serve the hot Hara Bhara Kebabs with tomato ketchup or your favorite chutney.
