Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the hara bhara kabab recipe. Firstly, the recipe has to be made with fresh vegetables. For a perfect taste and the right amount of flavor to this snack. Also, avoid using frozen vegetables and use them only if you do not have access to fresh ones. Secondly, I sauteed all the vegetables till it is cooked properly. You may boil the vegetables as an alternative option, to hasten the cooking process. It also helps to bind all the vegetables and eventually shape them. Lastly, shape these snacks evenly which not helps in frying but also helps to make them attractive. You may use a cookie cutter or shape it just with your hands. I shaped it with my hands, but I weighed each individual kebab to have the same weight.
