Hara Bhara Kabab

These are popular vegetarian kebabs in India, however in restaurants these are almost always deep fried. If you are one of those who like their kebabs deep fried then you must do that.Hara bhara kebab is a great snack for any party, goes well with chai. It can also be used as patties in sandwiches or burgers. These kebabs are vegan, full of greens and easy to make. The bright green color of the kababs comes from the spinach puree, which is mixed along with mashed boiled potatoes and green peas.

I have seen them in most of the restaurant’s menu card and have been waiting to try it at home from very long. Hara Bhara Kebab is easy to make at home.
