½ Cup frozen and thawed spinach or 1 Cup finely chopped fresh spinach
½ Cup boiled green peas

Method
Boil potatoes till soft, add green peas and boil them till soft. Set aside to cool
Lightly dry roast besan/gram flour till it becomes aromatic
In another pan, add thawed frozen spinach. Mix and break it up as it heats or use 1 Cup chopped fresh spinach, saute it in a Tsp of oil. Once cooled, squeeze out water from fresh spinach, reserve this for making saaru/rasam or for kneading paratha dough
In a bowl, add boiled potatoes, peas, sauteed spinach, chopped onion

Mash them together till combined
Add grated paneer

Make tikkis. Repeat for all mixture
Shallow fry them on a griddle with oil till golden

Notes
Besan helps bind the tikkis/kababs together
If using fresh spinach, squeeze out the water to avoid making the mixture watery and mushy. Frozen spinach is best as you can avoid the process of squeezing out water
Adjust spices as per your taste
Shape them into any shape you like. Tikki shapes are easy to make and roast
