Its indistinguishable green colour comes from the plethora of green veggies that go into it.


Made with spinach, potatoes, and green peas, this is a divine snack for vegetarians, and can also be served as part of a meal. These fresh greens combined with exotic spices create an amazingly irresistible dish that is delicious, aromatic and mouth-watering, and also healthy. They are crispy from the outside yet tender from the inside. 


You’ll Need

1 tsp olive oil

1/4 cup french beans

1/4 cup green peas

1/4 of a green bell pepper

1/4 cup spinach puree

1 boiled potato

1/2 tsp chopped ginger

1/2 tsp chopped green chilli

1-2 tbsp cornflour

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala

Salt to taste

Oil


Instructions 

  1. To a pan, add the olive oil and heat.
  2. Add to it, peas, green bell pepper, green beans and sauce for a minute.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and allow to cook with the lid on.
  4. Bring them off the heat when cooked and let cool down.
  5. Add the veggies to a blender, grind till smooth consistency is achieved.
  6. In another bowl, add this veggie paste, spinach puree, potato, ginger, green chili, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and cornflour, and mix well.
  7. Let the mixture sit at room temperature and rest.
  8. Make Tikkis as per the desired size.
  9. Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan if you wish to shallow fry. For a deep fry, heat oil in Kadhai.
  10. Drop into the oil, cook both sides and serve hot alongside green mint chutney.



Pro Tip- If you don’t wish to fry your kabab, then bake in an oven pre-heated at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Don’t forget to flip the kabab halfway. Baking will give the Tikki, a crunchier texture.
