Learn how to make an easy vegan appetizer recipe that is sure to please your friends and family. ‘Hara Bhara’ literally translates to ‘All things Green’. Though traditionally it is spinach that is used for this recipe, feel free to replace with any firm greens on hand. Taste will slightly vary and I recommend blanching them lightly before using in the patty mixture.

Nice idea, but definitely not vegan. Perhaps just change the word to vegetarian.
