Hara Bhara Kabab is a popular vegetarian starter at a wedding or party in North India. It's easy to make at home. So, whenever you want to make a simple snack, you can try this recipe. Primarily kabab originated in the middle east as a meat dish. Conclusively, those who are vegetarian felt left out of the kabab party, and then they created their own version of kabab.
