Hara Bhara (Spinach & Pea cutlets)

Hara Bhara (Spinach & Pea cutlets)

We recently went to  Delhi O'Deli for the first time in a long while (final year woes..) So when we were there we ate Hara Bhara kebabs with delicious sauces etc. and we got the desire to try make them ourselves. We brought them to a friend’s bbq and they went down a treat.

Ingredients

3 small potatoes

3 tbsp minced fresh ginger

3 cups peas

2 ½ cups spinach (chopped)

1 tsp green curry paste

2 cloves garlic

2 tbsp cornflour

2 -3 tbsp flour (and more for the end)

Spices/herbs: cumin, coriander, chana masala powder

Oil for the oven dish/tray and ½ tbsp oil for each

¾ packet of cashews (optional)

1. Boil the potatoes and then mash or blend them. Put the peas in a blender (or mash) and add the finely chopped spinach. Blend the cashews with 2-3 tbsp water until creamed.

2. Mix the mashed potatoes, peas, spinach and cashews together. Add chopped garlic, green curry paste, ginger, cornflour, flour and spices.

3. Shape the mix into flattened balls/burger shapes and roll in flour to cover.

4. (alternatively for this step they can be fried). Put balls on a well greased oven tray and top each with ½ tbsp oil. Bake in oven until brown and turn halfway for the other side. Bake about 30-40mins.

Enjoy! (Lovely in some pitta bread)
