Green Peas Kebab is a delightful vegetarian appetizer made from green peas, mashed potatoes, and various spices, formed into patties or kebabs and then fried or baked until crispy. Here’s a simple recipe to make Green Peas Kebab:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to taste)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust according to taste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Bread crumbs or cornflour for coating
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- If using fresh green peas, blanch them in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes. If using frozen peas, thaw them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with the blanched or thawed green peas.
- Add finely chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into small patties or kebabs. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
- Roll each kebab in bread crumbs or cornflour to coat it evenly. This helps in making the kebabs crispy.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for shallow frying or deep frying.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kebabs in the pan. Fry them in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. Make sure to flip them halfway through the cooking process for even browning.
- Once done, remove the fried kebabs from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Green Peas Kebabs hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or any dipping sauce of your choice.
