Hara Bhara Kebab


 India is a country where there are number of snack options. Kebab is one of them. Now kebab is actually a non-vegetarian snack. The word kebab itself means roasted meat. But long ago it happened that an Indian vegetarian king asked his cook to make something so creamy and melt-in mouth that tasted like non-vegetarian kebab but is vegetarian. That was the time when vegetarian kebabs gained fame.

These are perfect party starters or appetizer. You will see them in most of the restaurant menu. They usually freeze them after shaping them and when you order it, they deep fry and serve it to you. This step can be done at home too if you have frequent guests at your home. It tastes great with green chutney that is made in minutes.

It is best eaten during winters as greens are easily available in that season. In addition to spinach, capsicum, french beans, green peas are also added to make it taste delicious.
