Course: dinner, entree, Main
Cuisine: Pakistani
Keyword: summer
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef 80% lean 20% fat
- 2 tsp coriander seeds crushed
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds crushed
- 1 tsp red chilli powder cayenne or Kashmiri red chilli
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves finely chopped
- 1 egg cooked and scrambled (allow to cool completely)
- 1 tomato finely chopped
- 1/2 red onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cornmeal
Instructions
- In no particular order, add all the ingredients into the beef and mix really well. Because there are spices and herbs, make sure everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Allow to marinate for at least an hour or up to 6 hours. I have left this in the fridge overnight and the result is even more delicious. I wouldn't marinate for longer than 24 hours.
- In a pan, add enough oil to shallow fry the kebab. (Traditionally, chapli kebabs are fried and not grilled). When ready to fry, place a ball of mince in your hand and flatten super thin.
- Flip once the bottom is deep brown, about 5-6 minutes.(I flip the kebab only once or twice).
- Serve hot with raita and naan.
Is a very good recipe. Greting from Germany. I think I will be create this dish often.
Thank you for the review; I’m so happy you tried and loved it.
Hi! How many kababs does this recipe make?
A pound makes about 5-6 kebabs
Hi 1 pound will usually make about 6 medium sized kebabs
Thank you! These are our favorite kababs. I make them with lean beef in bulk and freeze them. We make chapli burgers with them (two patties with cheese in the middle) and they are just perfect!
Your recipes are so easy to follow. The kabab are definitely a favourite.
Thank you Lynette! Really appreciate your feedback.
What kind of oil do you use to fry the kebab?
