Hara Bhara Kabab

Yet another dish from Andhra, HBK makes the perfect accompaniment of cocktails :D And P.S. am not about to post recipes of cocktails here; this is a wholesome, family blog. Eh, who am I kidding; will try and post some here some time :P


Anyway, you'll need:


* 1/2 cup spinach leaves
* 1/2 cup fenugreek (methi) leaves
* 1/2 cup chickpea (kabuli chana) flour
* 2 tsp ginger, finely chopped
* 2 tsp green chilies, finely chopped
* 1/2 tsp chili powder
* 2 tbsp ghee
* 1.5 tsp salt


Let's get started.


1. First of, wash and blanch the spinach & methi. If you have a colander, leave it in this to drain. Else, any other bowl will also do.


2. Now, squeeze out the excess liquid & grind the greens to a paste. Then, mix this with the chickpea flour, green chilies, ginger & chili powder. Let this be for 15 min.


3. You can now start shaping this mixture in whatever structure you like - balls :P or squared or even triangles!! But just make sure that whatever shape you give it, you flatten it out a bit.


4. Now for the frying. To a non-stick frying pan, add a thin layer of the ghee, and fry the kababs on a high flame. Turn them over regularly, till both sides begin to turn brown.


HBK done!! Enjoy them hot, with barbecue sauce and few cocktails, and a few friends :)
