Hara Bhara Kabab is quite a popular snack nowadays among adults as well as kids. Made with lots of green vegetables these are generally a healthier option to other snacks which are served in parties and ceremonies. My kids also love to eat Hara Bhara Kabab though they know all the vegetables that have been added to these. I think that tells how delicious they are especially to mothers of fussy eaters 😉

we all know the benefits of spinach which is the star ingredient of these kababs. You can add a variety of green vegetables in these. I have added whatever I had in my fridge namely beans capsicum coriander leaves. In winters peas can be added to these as peas add a very nice taste to kebabs or cutlets.

These can be shallow fried or grilled in the oven. I have shallow fried the kababs. A perfect evening snack for kids or a perfect starter to serve guests or a more than a perfect breakfast item. It is your choice how and when you want to have these.
