Shami Kabab Recipe: A Classic Indian Appetizer
Shami kabab is a well-known snack that is easy to prepare. It has its origins in India, and is also widely enjoyed in Pakistani and Bangladeshi cuisine. Typically made from beef or mutton mince, small patties are shaped from a mixture of ground meat, chana daal or split gram, herbs, and spices. However, modern variations include chicken, vegetables, and soya chunks. Shallow frying is the usual method of cooking, but deep frying and pan-frying are also options.
During Ramadan, shami kabab is a highly sought-after dish, particularly for iftars. The combination of mince, lentils, and spices gives the dish a unique and tantalizing flavor.
Masth Tips and Recommendations for Shami kabab
To help ensure that your shami kababs turn out perfectly, here are some helpful tips and recommendations to follow. If the kababs break during cooking, the problem may be due to a lack of binding agent. To solve this issue, adding more eggs to the dough can help. If the dough is too loose or watery, adding breadcrumbs or crushed oats can help improve consistency.
Shami kababs can be stored in the freezer after cooking for up to two months, making them a convenient dish for busy households.
Moreover, a vegetarian option can be created using soya chunks, which require less time to cook than meat.
We usually enjoy it as a starter with mint chutney or as a main course with rice or naan.
