Traditionally, hara bhara kebab is made with spinach, peas and potatoes. We checked here how close the taste of a traditional hara bhara kebab is to that of this frozen one. 

Taste-wise, these kebabs were well seasoned but not spicy. These kebabs have a light tanginess that along with ginger and garlic brings about a delicious flavor.

4. Texture + Crunch

Texture is another crucial parameter that we carefully gauge during our review process. We were impressed how crispy and evenly cooked these kebabs turned out to be. The interior of the kebabs was soft.

The kebabs also contain roasted peanuts. However, we couldn’t really find them while eating.

Appearance-wise, these kebabs are identical in shape. All the 10 pieces of the kebabs were intact. We could see pieces of peas and other greens.

We reviewed the 200 gm pack of the Safal Frozen Hara Bhara Veg Kebab. It is priced at INR 80. The pack includes around 10 pieces of the kebabs. All the hara bhara kebabs were unbroken and were similar in shape and size.

To gauge the taste and texture, we deep-fried these kebabs on low to medium heat and gently kept stirring in between. They cooked quickly and had an even brown color. The kebabs did not absorb any excess oil. Also, these did not break during the frying process.

The appetizing green color, the soft interior and crisp exterior amped up the overall experience. The kebabs are well-seasoned and aren’t spicy. While there is nothing wrong about the taste, we feel that it lacks that wow-factor.
