Bhara kabab

Bhara or hara kabab is a traditional dish and a vegetarian version of meat kebabs. The dish is prepared with a combination of potatoes, peas, spinach, ginger, chili peppers, coriander, garam masala, roasted besan (chickpea) flour, oil, salt, and lemon juice. The combination is cooked, mashed or ground, then formed into small patties that are fried in oil or grilled. Bhara kabab is usually served as an appetizer and it's recommended to accompany the patties with coriander or mint chutney on the side. These green kababs are especially popular in northern India and in Lucknow, where it's considered a specialty.
