Sizzling Chapli Kabab Recipe
You will see people eating chapli kebab in Dhaba or big restaurants. Those with Peshawar style are more popular because the kebabs originated from Peshawar.
My cook’s chapli kabab recipe is original than a Punjabi taste. The right proportion of all ingredients is very important. You need to keep the minced meat dry or kebabs will get destroyed.
Don’t let onion or tomatoes leave their water so process all ingredients carefully. I love the taste of pomegranate seeds that become crunchy under my teeth. I also love the smell of coriander and ginger.
Green chilies are more important than red chilies, so use them while mixing kebab masala or while garnishing. We need to make the meat tender and we achieve this goal through eggs, and corn flour.
Avoid adding too much salt, and also make chapli kabab on a low heat until the kebabs get golden brown. Don’t overcook kebabs as they will get hard. The trial and error will make you perfect, so repeat this recipe often.
Enjoy it with tea or have it with rice or Nan. Always use fresh meat being washed and ground thoroughly. Use fresh spices and use healthy Aliz Olive Oil.
