Chapli kabab recipe
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1 Prepare Mince for Kabab
For making chapli kabab, in a mixing bowl add the beef mince. Then one by one add the remaining ingredients into the bowl. Crack one large egg and add it to the mince, then add garam masala, salt, chili flakes, green chilies, turmeric powder, and finely chopped onions. Then add tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, coriander seeds, butter, gram flour, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste into the mince. Now combine them together using your hands.

Step 2 Marinate the Beef mince
Moreover, after mixing all ingredients, let the chapli kabab mixture marinate for 2 hours. Then you can place the mince in the refrigerator if the weather is hot. During winters it's fine to keep it in a cool place.

Step 3 Make Beef Patties
Then grease your hands with oil. Now it's time to prepare patties. Scoop a ball of marinated mince and shape it into a flat patty. Then repeating the same process, make as many chapli kabab as you can from the mince.

Step 4 Shallow Fry Patties
Then take a pan and pour vegetable oil into it. Heat the oil over medium flame, then shallow fry chapli kabab one by one for 4-5 minutes.

Step 5 Serve chapli kabab
Once all-beef patties are fried, serve them hot with any sauce of your choice. Kababs are often served with green sauce in Pakistan, however, in the Middle East, these are served with sauces like hummus.

Tips
