So I am back with another great vegetarian snack recipe and this time it is the hara bhara kebab. I had this appetizer several years ago on a trip to Mumbai and got hooked onto it instantly. This kebab is green in colour and thus is named hara bhara kebab. It is a great party snack and also the perfect accompaniment to your evening tea. If you haven’t tried it already then do it now and without any further due let’s get started with the recipe.
