Shape each portion into a ball and then press it in between your palms to give it a flat tikki shape. Heat oil in a kadai. Deep-fry the tikkis in hot oil for three to four minutes. Chef’s Tip : You may also shallow fry hara bhara kabab on a griddle plate or a tawa. It is recommended that you do not use colour in this recipe. If you feel you may increase the quantity of spinach leaves to give a dark green colour. In that case add a little more cornflour/cornstarch for binding. --------- |
