Shami Kebab is a popular Indian kebab made with minced meat and lentils. Here's a recipe for Shami Kebab:



Ingredients:

  • 250 grams minced meat (mutton or beef)
  • 1/2 cup chana dal (split Bengal gram lentils), soaked for 2 hours
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • Oil or ghee for shallow frying
  • Lemon wedges and mint chutney for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Drain the soaked chana dal and transfer it to a pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover the dal. Pressure cook for about 3-4 whistles or until the dal is soft and cooked through. Drain any excess water and set aside.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, cooked chana dal, finely chopped onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend it to form a smooth paste. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to facilitate blending.

  4. Transfer the blended mixture back to the mixing bowl. Add the chopped fresh coriander leaves and mix well.

  5. Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round patties or cylindrical shapes.

  6. Heat oil or ghee in a pan for shallow frying over medium heat.

  7. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kebabs in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook the kebabs on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.

  8. Remove the kebabs from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

  9. Serve the Shami Kebabs hot with lemon wedges and mint chutney if desired.

Shami Kebabs are delicious as an appetizer or can be served with naan bread, roti, or rice as a main course. Enjoy their flavorful blend of meat and lentils!
