Ingredients
For the Kababs
- 1/2 cup Split Chickpea split chickpeas, also known as split bengal gram; soaked for at least 1 hour
- 2 tsp Ginger finely chopped
- 2 tsp Garlic finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Chili finely chopped; adjust to your spice preference, green
- 1 cup Spinach blanched and squeezed dry
- 1/2 cup Peas boiled, fresh or frozen, green
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese indian cottage cheese, grated
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour for coating
- 1 cup Breadcrumb for coating
- 2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For Frying
- Vegetable Oil as needed, for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Chana Dal
- Pressure cook the soaked chana dal with ginger, garlic, green chilies, and 1 cup of water for 2 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
Blend the Mixture
- In a blender, combine the cooked chana dal, green peas, spinach, garam masala, and chaat masala. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Shape and Coat the Kababs
- Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Add the grated paneer and salt, mixing well to combine. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small, flat patty (about 2 inches in diameter).
- Dip each patty into a mixture of all-purpose flour and water (make a thin paste). Then, coat the patties thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
Fry the Kababs
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. Carefully place the coated kababs into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping occasionally. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve
- Serve the hot Hara Bhara Kababs immediately with your favorite chutney, yogurt, or ketchup.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Hara Bhara Kababs
- Soaking the Chana Dal: Soaking the chana dal for at least an hour helps soften them, resulting in a smoother, more palatable kabab.
- Blanching the Spinach: Blanching the spinach ensures it's tender and removes any excess moisture, which is essential for achieving a good texture.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Fry the kababs in batches to ensure even browning and crisping. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy kababs.
- Adjust the Spices: Feel free to adjust the amount of green chilies and spices to suit your personal taste preferences. You can also add other spices like coriander powder or cumin powder.
