Hara Bhara Kabab – Baked

Posted on By Bhavna

Hara bhara kabab is a healthy & delicious Indian vegetarian crispy snack made with spinach, potatoes and green peas. A tasty alternative for those who love kababs but are vegetarian, this hara bhara kabab recipe includes spinach and other vegetables. Patties or cutlets are usually deep fried but since I thought of keeping it healthier, I adopted baking option. If you would like to fry, fry on a medium heat till brown. Or the another option is shallow fried kababs. Just add little oil in a non stick pan and roast patties on low to medium heat till golden brown. So where there is a will, there is a way!
Fried Kababs look like below.


If you wish to shallow fry, the kababs will look like below. So any how you prepare, you are going to love them for sure.
