Really yummy & Healthy - Hara Bhara Kabab

Overall preparation time - About an hour
Actual cooking time - 30-45 mins

Soak 1/2 cup of Chana dal for about an hour

In the mean while, boil a cup of green peas and blanch about 4 cups of spinach
(to blanch spinach, bring water to a boil and let the spinach sit in it for about 5-10 mins)

Pressure cook Chana dal with 1 tbsp of ginger garlic and 4-5 slit green chillies - for about 2 whistles
Remove all excess water 

In a mixer/food processor, add Chana dal mix, green peas, spinach and grind to a fine paste

Shift it into a bowl and add salt, garam masala, chaat masala and mashed paneer

In order to make them into nice shaped kababs, add some bread crumbs
(easy way to make bread crumbs at home - cut bread into small cubes, and place it in an oven for about 15 mins at 250F. Make a powder of that in food processer/mixer/grinder)

Once the kabab shapes are ready - dip it in maida mix (3 tbsp maids and 2 tbsp water) and coat it with the bread crumbs - before frying!

Deep fry on low flame or bake it at 350F till the top layer is golden brown.

Enjoy hot Kababs with tomato/mint chutney!
