Kebabs are a favorite finger foods and can perfect as in-between meals snack and even party appetizers. Here is a tasty shammi kebab recipe by our favorite chef Shabana Akbany.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 kg mince meat
- 75 gms chana daal soaked for 1 hour
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 big onion chopped
- 3 /4 red dry chillies
- 2″ piece ginger {cut into long slices}
- 5/ 6 garlic pods {unchopped}
- 1 tsp zeera / dhania powder{heaped}
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 cup chopped coriander leaves
- 2 / 3 eggs {beaten with a pinch of salt
- red chilly powder and a tbsp of water
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Directions:
- Pressure cook mince meat along with chana daal, onion, turmeric powder, red chillies, ginger, garlic, garam masala, coriander leaves and salt without any water.
- Cook for abt 3 whistles and let it shimmer for about 10 minutes on very low fire till all all the water has dried up.
- Once the mixture has cooled off a bit you may put it in a mixer and grind it to a paste or you may also hand grind it on a grinding stone. {The kabab’s will taste much better if they are hand ground, instead of a paste in the mixie}.
- Once your mince mix is ready roll them into a kabab form {Shammi kabab,s are usually oval ROUND in shape}. Now dip these kabab’s into your egg batter {with the spices} and deep fry.
