MyMusingsSangSpeak-Pet Puja - Palak Kebab

Palak(Spinach) Kebab


Palak Kebab is one of my own recipes that I happened to experiment and make. It is an easy to make, nutritious, tasty finger snack. They were a hit when I used to make them for parties. It has been long time since I have been entertaining on large scale, so I just stopped making them till I was reminded by a friend of mine “ Mrs Jadhav, aapke banaye hue Palak Kebab kitne badhiya lagte the”. So friends, here is the recipe for you all.


Ingredients
Palak(Spinach) Puree - 1 large cup
Boiled Potatoes – 2 medium sized
Bread Slices – 3 nos
Ginger Garlic Green Chilly Paste – 1 teaspoon
Garam Masala – ½ to ¾ teaspoon
Salt – As per Taste
Oil- For Frying


Method
For Palak Puree- Wash half a bunch of spinach leaves, cut them and boil in water for about 5 minutes. Strain the water and allow to cool, afterwards, make a paste in mixer to form a smooth puree. Make coarse powder of bread slices in the mixer and peel and mash the potatoes well. Mix spinach puree, mashed potatoes, bread crumbs, ginger+garlic+green chilly paste, garam masala and salt well to form smooth dough. Make small kebabs of this mixture and shallow fry with little oil in a non stick pan. Turn alternate sides and the kebabs will become brown and crispy. Remove, put on a tissue to remove excess oil and serve hot with sauce/chutney of your choice. 

Note – You can deep fry these kebabs. Whether you shallow fry or deep fry, they do not soak in much oil. For variation, you may puree green peas too and add to the mixture.
