Make Veggie Mixture
Heat up a castiron skillet on low-medium flame, once hot, add oil followed by cumin seeds. Cook for 30 seconds.
Add ginger, garlic, and green chillies. Saute for a minute.
Add spinach and season with salt. It'll take a minute or two to wilt.
Now add the drained peas and cook for a minute.
This is what you should have.
Blend Veggies
Add chickpeas and cilantro to a blender. Also, add spinach-peas veggies that we sauteed above. Blend.
This is what you should have.
Make Hara Bhara Kebabs
In a bowl, add grated potatoes followed by all the dry spices.
Add the blended veggies (peas spinach mix) and mix well.
Add arrowroot powder - cornstarch works if you don't have arrowroot. Mix well.
Now add panko crumbs and mix well. This will make your kebabs crispy and add texture. Mix well.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, form your kebabs into small patties.
Heat up a castiron skillet on low-medium heat - I'm using a 12" skillet. Once hot, add oil. Now place all 10 patties on the skillet. Cook on one side for 6-7 minutes until crispy.
Flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes on one side on low-medium heat.
