Zucchini Channa Poriyal/Palya/Subzi

The same vegetables again this week!” I have to genuinely try to cook veggies differently to stop myself from getting bored of the same food ๐Ÿ˜€ย Last week that repeat vegetable was zucchini – hence this recipe is up on the blog!

Hara Bhara Kabab with Raw Banana (Plantains)

For as long as I remember, if some restaurant happened to have hara bhara kabab on their menu, I would never miss ordering them. Somehow the color, crunch and taste of these kababs is unbeatable! I have another variant of this Hara Bhara Kabab already on the blogย – Check it out!

In this recipe, I have introduced plantains into the recipe. Plantains act like good binding agents and wonderfully complement the other veggies here. I totally skipped the deep frying part and opted to just cook these on a skillet with a little oil. Trust me – these are still as crunchy and tasty as the original kababs. Don’t take my word for it – give this recipe a try! 20 min and you will have this all ready at the dinner table ๐Ÿ™‚
