  • 5-6 pieces Ginger
  • 1 cup Chopped capsicum
  • 1 cup French beans
  • ½ cup Boiled green peas
  • 1 bowl Spinach
  • Handful Coriander

  • 1 big Boiled potato
  • ½ cup Grated paneer
  • ¼ cup Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Gram flour

  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • ½ tsp Red Chili powder
  • ½ tsp Dry mango powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Cashew
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs For garnishing

Method
 

Prepare the Veggies:
  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add green chili, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for a minute. Add chopped capsicum, french beans, and boiled green peas. Stir until veggies are cooked but still firm. Avoid overcooking to prevent water release. Add spinach and cook until it softens. Let the mixture cool.
Make the Paste:
  1. Transfer the cooked veggies into a grinder. Add fresh coriander and mint. Grind into a smooth paste.
Prepare the Mixture:
  1. In a bowl, combine the paste with boiled potato, grated paneer, breadcrumbs, and gram flour. Add coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, dry mango powder, and salt. Mix until all ingredients blend well.
Shape the Kababs:
  1. Grease your hands with oil. Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a round patty. Place a cashew on top and press gently. Coat each patty with breadcrumbs.
Cook the Kababs:
  1. Shallow fry or deep fry the patties in hot oil on medium flame. Cook until golden brown and crisp. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.

Notes

  • Do not overboil potato otherwise it will get loose or not useful for binding patties. 
  • Do not overcook veggies otherwise it will release water.
  • Instead of gram flour, you can use corn flour or corn starch. 
  • You can adjust spices according to your taste.
  • If the mixture has more moisture, add some breadcrumbs or flour and adjust constancy, otherwise kabab will break in oil.
  • You can bake kababs on 180 degrees Celsius for 20 to 30 minutes. Just place kabas on tray brush some oil on it and bake.
