Hara bhara naram dil kabab

As the name itself suggests naram dil meaning soft heart this delicious kabab has got cheese filling giving it soft and melting insides. Any chutney will be good with these kababs but we had it with date and tamarind chutney.

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 3 medium sized boiled, peeled and mashed

Spinach - 1 bunch

Green peas - 1/2 cup boiled and mashed

Coriander leaves - 2-3 tblsp chopped

Cornflour - 2 tblsp

Spices:

Salt, chaat masala and red chilli powder to taste

For the filling:

Cheddar cheese - 1/4 cup grated

Raisins - 1 tblsp

Cashew nuts broken - 1 tblsp

Oil to fry

Procedure:

• Blanch the spinach leaves, drain and squeeze the water and chop the leaves.
• Mix the potatoes, spinach leaves, coriander leaves, green peas, cornflour and all the spices and mash and mix nicely.
• Mix all the ingredients for filling.
• Take the kabab mixture and make balls out of the mixture, make a hole in the centre of the ball and stuff the cheese filling.
• Flatten the balls little and fry in hot oil till it turns golden brown in colour.
• Drain on absorbent paper.
• Serve hot with chutney of your choice.

I fried some capsicum and sprinkled some salt and chaat masala on it and served with the kababs.
