Usually, we engage in pan frying the Hara Bhara kebab but you can also choose to bake this one or air fry them, whichever is convenient for you.

How can you bake the Hara Bhara kebab pattie?

The oven must be preheated at 180° for ten minutes before you place the pattie on the grill. Use a brush to coat both the sides of the kebab with oil. This will give a crispy texture to the pattie. The patties are baked for about twenty to thirty minutes and flipped in the middle of the process so both sides are cooked evenly. So in about fifteen minutes, you can use a spatula to turn over the pattie.

Tips and tricks to make Hara Bhara kebab at home

If you have recently tried out Hara Bhara kebab at some event, we understand that you have become quite obsessed with its taste! So, now let's learn to make it at home.

How to cook the potatoes and peas?

Let's begin with the basics! Boil the potatoes and the peas in the pressure cooker instant pot, whichever you have in the house. Make sure, the peas are not scattered in the water but you use a steel bowl to place the peas in it before it goes into the instant pot. Cook for ten minutes with five to seven whistles and both the veggies will be tender and ready to mash!

Once the potatoes have cooled down, you can peel the skin.

How to blanch the spinach

You must blanch the greens before you begin to make the pattie! Once rinsing is done, you can place the leaves in the colander to drain the excess water. Leaves are fine for the patties while the stem should be left out. However, if you want a nice crunch in your kebab then you can go ahead and include stems as well. Usually, the leaves are blanched in hot water for two to three minutes until they turn tender. If you are using stems as well, then increase the duration slightly. Once done, you must remove the leaves from the hot water and dip them in cold water for about a minute to retain their greenish hue.

The leaves are drained in the colander and then chopped into small portions or even pureed in some recipes. Roasted besan can be added in the case of the latter to increase the binding property of the green mix.

You can crush some chilis with garlic as a part of the prepping and roast the flour to acquire a nutty flavor.

Now let's get down to the kebab

Everything boils down to the pattie now! Let's see how to get this one right!

The peas are combined with the leaves and grated boiled potatoes are added along with roasted besan to the bowl. Spices like amchur, garam masala, chaat masala, and chili garlic paste are used. Give them a good mix and then make a dough out of it! Use lemon juice if you don't have amchur powder for the zesty essence. Make small balls, flatten them, fry them, and enjoy your Hara Bhara kebabs!
