Notes:

  • Once spinach is blanched, squeeze out the excess water and make sure no water is retained in it. Otherwise mixture will become gooey and will not get proper shape of kebab.
  • Adding a pinch of sugar to spinach helps it to retain its bright green color.
  • Do not add too much potatoes to this dish. spinach and green peas should dominate this kebab.
  • If you find your mixture is little sticky and gooey, then try adding little more besan.
  • If you do not have chaat masala powder, you can replace it with garam masala powder.
  • In case of you don’t have amchoor powder you can treat it as optional. It doesn't make much difference in the taste.
