Adraki Palak Aloo Kabab

Spinach and potato patties

Palak /Spinach is used in making many types of kababs, palak kababs are very popular among all the variety of kababs,I have bookmarked this adraki palak kabab very long ago.It is a twisted version of palak kabab with a strong flavor of ginger so only few spices are added in it,all the ingredients are simple and easily available.

Bread crumbs are added to retain and hold the shape but you can also add soaked and squeezed bread instead of bread crumbs,addition of cinnamon powder ,coriander seeds and mango powder make it flavourful and delicious.Shallow fry these kababs in ghee or oil and serve with tomato ketchup or tamarind chutney.
