Hara Bara Kabab | Hara Bhara Kabab | Green Spinach Kabab | Vegetable Kabab


HaraBara Kabab is a classic Indian delicious appetizer which is very common all over India. This is very simple easy recipe that can be made at home and has all the goodness of green leafy vegetables. It is usually made using spinach, green peas, capsicum, some people add spring onion greens, and green gram as well. Basically it is a mixture of so many green vegetables and foods. Many varieties of harabara kabab that can be made by doing a mix and match with your green veggies. You can also add cabbage, paneer and other things as well. This is a simple basic version of harabara kabab.

Ingredients


  1. Spinach leaves – 1/2 cup (blanched and finely chopped) 
  2. Fenugreek leaves – 1/2 cup (blanched and finely chopped)
  3. French Beans – ¼ cup (finely chopped)
  4. Capsicum – ½ cup (finely chopped)
  5. Fresh Green Peas – ½ cup
  6. Ginger – 1 teaspoon (finely chopped)
  7. Green Chilies – 2 (finely chopped)
  8. Coriander leaves – 1 tablespoon (finely chopped)
  9. Mint leaves – 8 to 10 (finely chopped)
  10. Boiled Potato – 1 (peeled and mashed)
  11. Bread crumbs – 1 tablespoon
  12. Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon
  13. Garam Masala Powder – ¼ teaspoon
  14. Corn starch – 2 tablespoons
  15. Cumin– ½ teaspoon
  16. Chat Masala Powder – 1 teaspoon
  17. Salt as per taste.
  18. Cooking Oil
  19. Few Cashewnuts (for kabab topping)


Note - It is important that you squeeze out all the water from your blanched spinach and fenugreek leaves.

Direction


  1. In a wok, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
  2. When the oil is hot enough, add ½ teaspoon of cumin and add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped ginger.
  3. Sauté them for few seconds
  4. Add 2 green chilies finely chopped. If you want more spicy then you can add more.
  5. Add my finely chopped capsicum and finely chopped French beans. Capsicum and French beans contains moisture so it is important that they are added first and sauté it for a minute.
  6. Add my green peas, finely chopped blanched spinach leaves and fenugreek leaves.
  7. Add some finely chopped mint leaves to give you a good flavour.
  8. Add two tablespoons of fresh coriander leaves and add a little bit of salt to taste.
  9. Add ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder to enhance the colour of food and mix them well
  10. The trick to make a perfect Hara Bara Kabab is to keep cooking and spreading the green vegetables all over the wok on the sides. This way it will remove the moisture from them. Not minimizing the moisture then it will become sticky when you add binding to this, such as corn starch or all-purpose flour. Keep spreading and cooking them for some time.
  11. When they have less moisture and have become dry, take them out and put it in a blender. Don’t want to blend them right away when they are hot. You must allow them to cool and then you can blend them.
  12. Grinded the mixture to a nice coarse paste and add it into a mixing bowl.
  13. To this mixture, add the binding. Don’t add too much of binding agents. Otherwise, it will lose all its greenish look of harabara kabab.
  14. Add the potato which has been boiled, one tablespoon of bread crumbs, two tablespoons of corn starch, one teaspoon of chat masala powder, add ¼ teaspoon of garam masala powder. Don’t add too much of garam masala powder otherwise it will not be good.
  15. Mix them all well. 
  16. Next step, make small flat patties from this mixture and coat them with bread crumbs for crispiness.
  17. Take a small portion of the mixture and make a small ball.
  18. Add a cashewnuts on the top of the ball and roll it in the bread crumbs. Ensure that it is nicely coated with bread crumbs.
  19. Gently press the mixture ball and flatten it to ensure that it will not come out of the kabab while frying it.
  20. When the harabara kababs are ready to be fried, add cooking oil in a pan for frying. Don’t add too much of oil because it is not required to be deep fried. Deep frying them can make them to break off or disintegrate when it is submerged completely in the oil. So just add enough oil so that the kababs will float and not completely submerge in the oil.
  21. Let the oil heat for some time on a low flame. You can also shallow fry your harabara kabab.
  22. Add the kababs and it doesn’t take a very long time to fry.
  23. If you see light brown in colour then they are ready, flip them once and they will be done.
  24. It will be crispy outside and soft inside. You can eat these kababs with either tomato or chili based chutney.

Pepper Chicken Dry | Chicken Kali Mirch


Pepper Chicken Dry which is also called as Chicken Kali Mirch or Mirchi Chicken Dry Roast is perfect for winter and very easy to make. It has a special sharp taste and aroma which you do not get from other chicken recipes as pepper is the main ingredient which is used to bring the mild heat to this dish.

It has a wonderful colour, flavour and can be quite spicy! This is a dry preparation, you can use this as a starter.

Ingredients


  1. Chicken (with bones) - 300 gm (You need 300 grams of chicken. Make sure your chicken is washed)
  2. Corn starch – 2 tablespoons
  3. Onion – 1 big (You need one big Onion, finely chopped)
  4. Ginger- 1 teaspoon (You need 1 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger)
  5. Garlic – 1 teaspoon (You need 1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic)
  6. Some Curry leaves
  7. Pepper powder – 1 teaspoon
  8. Coarsely ground pepper – ½ teaspoon
  9. Coriander powder – 1 teaspoon
  10. Garam masala powder – ¼ teaspoon
  11. Green chilli paste – ½ teaspoon (You can substitute this with red chilli powder. I like to use green chilli paste because it gives greenish look to your chicken and goes well with your pepper chicken)
  12. Coconut powder – 1 tablespoon
  13. Oil for deep fry
  14. Salt to taste
  15. Coriander leaves
  16. Green chilies – 5 to 6 (for garnishing. We will be frying the green chilies) 


Directions


  1. Marinate the chicken.
  2. Add the chicken in a bowl.
  3. Add ½ teaspoon of coarsely ground pepper, green chili paste, garam masala powder, coriander powder, corn starch. Adding corn starch ensures that the juices in the chicken stays inside when fried in oil by giving a nice coating.
  4. Add a little bit of salt. Don’t add too much of salt because the chicken will have a good amount of salt in them.
  5. Mix them well and marinate for at least 1 hour.
  6. After an hour, fry the marinated chicken.
  7. In a pan, pour some oil for deep fry.
  8. When the oil is hot enough, add the marinated chicken and fry them till they are brown in color.
  9. When the chicken is brown in color, take them out and transfer them to a serving plate.
  10. Keep them side. If you don’t want to deep fry your chicken in oil then there is another version where chicken is steamed in water without corn starch but using same spices which were used to marinate the chicken. If the chicken is steamed, it will become soft and tender and you don’t get the crispiness.
  11. Now fry the green chilies for garnishing.
  12. Use the same pan which was used to deep fry the chicken by emptying the oil in it and then add in my green chilies. Fry them lightly using the left over hot oil which is in the pan to shallow fry the green chilies. Moreover, if you add too much of oil then the green chilies will sputter a lot.
  13. Time to pan fry the deep fried chicken with pepper.
  14. In the same pan, add some oil for shallow fry. 
  15. When the oil is heat enough, add finely chopped ginger, finely chopped garlic and saute them for few seconds
  16. Add finely chopped onions, little bit of salt, curry leaves and saute them for a minute until the onions are light brown in color.
  17. Now add fried chicken and mix them well.
  18. Add coconut powder, 1 teaspoon of pepper powder. Mix them and fry them for 1 min on a low flame.
  19. Finally add coriander leaves and give them all a very good mix.
  20. Turn off the flame and add fried green chilies for garnishing.


Pepper Chicken Dry is ready to be served. :-)

Directions

1. First, we are going to prepare the whole spices powder.
2. Now instead of adding the whole spices as it is, these days, people make powder of whole spices and use it for marinating the chicken.
3. So let’s prepare the whole spices powder.
4. We have 2 Cinnamon Sticks, 6 Cloves, 2 BayLeafs, 1 Star Anise, few Lichen / Stone Flower, few Black Peppercorns, ¼ teaspoon of Caravay Seeds, Nutmeg, Mace and two Green Cardamom, and two Kapok Buds (Marati Moggu).
5. We will add all the whole spices in a mixer and blend them all together to make powder.
6. Ok. Our Whole spices powder is ready.
7. Next, we are going to marinate the chicken. Ensure that the chicken is washed and cleaned. I’ve chicken in a bowl.
8. We will add whole spices powder that we prepared.
9. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of red chili powder.
10. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of coriander powder.

18. Add 3 to 4 teaspoons of cooking oil.
19. Mix them all well, it is best to marinate your chicken for 3 to 4 hours.

20. Next, we are going to cook the rice.
21. The best time to cook the rice is after one hour you started marinating the chicken because it is recommended that you soak the rice for at least one hour in the water. We are using basmati rice because it gives you nice flavour and texture.
22. After one hour, we will cook the rice. Add 1/3 of water in a vessel and heat the water until it becomes hot.
23. When the water is hot, add soaked rice.
24. Now I am going add little bit of salt.
25. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil.
26. Now we will add whole spices again to the rice. But this time we are not going to use the whole spices powder. Instead we are going to use the raw spices so that the rice absorbs all the flavour from it.
27. Now I’m going to use muslin cloth and add few black pepper corns, one inch of cinamom stick, one green cardamom, two cloves. I’m going to tie a knot for muslin cloth and dip into the water and stir the rice.
28. The other whole spices like caravay seeds and bay leaf, I’ll add them directly into the water.
29. So I’ll add ¼ teaspoon of caravay seeds which is Shahi Jeera.
30. Add one bayleaf
31. Optionally, you can add a little bit of coriander leaves and mint leaves.
32. Stir the rice and we will close the vessel and cook the rice 70%
 Only.
33. Since the rice was soaked in the water for an hour, it will take a very less time to cook the rice.
34. And one more thing when the rice cooked 60%, take out the tied muslin cloth.


35. In the meantime, we will cook the marinated chicken in a biryani vessel.
36. Now you need to make sure that all chicken pieces are touching the pan to ensure that the chicken pieces are cooked well.
37. Spread some fried onions on top of it.

38. Now the rice is 70% cooked, switch off the flame.
39. Take a big strainer and strain out water. But don’t strain out all the water. Allow some water to come with rice. So that the biryani remains the moisture. Spread the cooked rice on top of the chicken.
40. Now add some chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves.
41. Add fried onions.
42. Now when you are doing this, the rice will be getting cooked a little more because of the hot water.
43. So when you add the second layer of the rice, it will be 75% cooked.
44. We will add the second layer of rice. Again we will add some chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves. Also add some fried onions.
45. You have to be quick when you are doing this, because you don’t want the rick to be over cooked in the hot water.
46. Now, we will also add 2 teaspoon of ghee which is optional. We will add the ghee across the corner of vessel.
47. Optionally, you can add a little bit of rose water and khevra water to give more flavour. These two things will give nice flavour to your biryani. We will add them across the corner of vessel.
48. To give texture and color, we will also add saffron color which is soaked in hot milk. Again we will spread it across.


49. Now we will put the lid upside down and put the chapatti dough on the corner of the lid and spread them evenly. This is done to ensure that all the flavours and steam remain inside the vessel. This is called as dum.
50. We will turn the lid upside down and press it gently. If you want to put some weight on top of the lid, you can do so.

51. Now we will cook the biryani for 5 minutes of high flame and then for 10 minutes on low flame.
52. Take out the vessel and put it on a pan for another 20 minutes on a low flame. This will ensure that you will not over-burn your chicken.
53. When you see steam coming out then it means that the biryani is ready.
54. After a total of 35 minutes, turn off the flame and don’t open the lid yet. Just wait for 5 minutes and then open the lid.
55. To check if chicken is cooked then use a spatula, give a scoop from the corner of the vessel and not from the center of the vessel. So you can see that the biryani is cooked.
56. Alright, your chicken biryani is ready to be served. You can serve it with raitha and garnish it with mint leaves.

  7. Transfer them into a mixer and make a rough powder. This restaurant style kadai paneer recipe gets its flavours from freshly pounded coriander seeds and dry red chilies. Adding freshly pounded spices do make a lot of difference to the food that we cook.
  8. After 8-10 minutes, add this spices powder to the tomatoes. 
  9. Mix everything well until the entire mixture becomes like a paste and starts to leave oil.
  10. Add 1 cup of capsicum juliennes and 1 to 2 chopped green chilies. The capsicum can also be diced, but making juliennes means faster cooking.
  11. Mix everything and sauté them for about 8-10 minutes again till the capsicums are half cooked.
  12. When the mixture starts to look dry, you can sprinkle some water.
  13. Add salt as per taste and add ½ teaspoon of garam masala powder. 
  14. Mix them well with the rest of the masala.
  15. Now it is time to add the paneer which is cut into cubes. 
  16. Give them nice mix with the masala and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes in the masala.

But momos is also a popular street food in north India and it is also served as one of the usual dish in all Chinese restaurants of India. Momos can be made with various stuffings and the sauce served with the momos will usually be hot and spicy. When I made these momos, I had to serve them with a spicy sauce. So I prepared a spicy Momos Chutney. Here is the link for Momos Chutney. For the momos filling, we are going to do vegetable and paneer filing balanced in taste and lightly spiced, so that it accompanies the spicy & hot sauce very well. So in this article, we are going to prepare a steamed momos instead of fried ones.
I hope you’ll like this recipe and do try this recipe.

  8. In the meantime, prepare the stuffing for our momos.
  9. On a hot pan on a medium flame, add a small cube of butter.
  10. When the butter is melted, add paneer cubes. Adding paneer cubes is totally optional. But you can substitute paneer with something else as well.
  11. Shallow fry the paneer cubes for two minutes.
  12. Whey they turn golden brown in colour, we will take them out and keep them aside.

  28. Start folding the dough from the edges to make it look like momos.
  29. When the momos are ready and the next step is to steam them in a pressure cooker.

  31. Place the momos on the steamer and place the steamer in the pressure cooker.
  32. I’ve already have boiled water on medium high heat in the pressure cooker. 
  33. Cover the pressure cooker with lid and cook it for 15 minutes.
  34. It is important that you should not use whistle of the pressure cooker.
  35. After 15 minutes, let’s check the momos. Ok our momos are ready.
