Instructions
-
Cook the Spinach: Begin by cooking the spinach in an open pan without any water until it wilts down to a tender consistency.
-
Puree the Spinach: Once cooked, allow the spinach to cool before transferring it to a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree consistency.
-
Prepare the Kebab Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green peas, boiled potato (mashed), and the freshly prepared spinach puree.
-
Add Flavorful Ingredients: To the mixture, add finely chopped green chilies, ginger, coriander leaves, garam masala, chat masala, crushed cashews, cornflour, and salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Before shaping the kebabs, taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
-
Shape the Kebabs: Take portions of the mixture and shape them into 1 1/2 inch round discs or any desired shape.
-
Heat Oil: In a wok or deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches the appropriate frying temperature.
-
Fry the Kebabs: Carefully place the shaped kebabs into the hot oil and fry until they turn crisp and golden brown on both sides. Ensure that the kebabs are evenly cooked by flipping them occasionally.
-
Drain Excess Oil: Once fried to perfection, remove the kebabs from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
-
Garnish and Serve: Arrange the hot and crispy kebabs on a serving plate, sprinkle additional chat masala for an extra burst of flavor, and serve them piping hot alongside a refreshing coriander chutney.
