Chapli Kebab
Chapli Kebab is a popular Pashtun dish originating from Peshawar, Pakistan. These flat, round patties are made from ground beef (or sometimes mutton or chicken) mixed with a blend of spices, herbs, and sometimes tomatoes and onions. They are shallow-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, tomatoes, green chilies, fresh coriander, ginger-garlic paste, crushed coriander seeds, cumin seeds, crushed pomegranate seeds, salt, red chili flakes, black pepper, cornmeal, and egg. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands for about 5-7 minutes until well combined. The mixture should have a slightly sticky, cohesive texture.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure onions and tomatoes are finely chopped and excess moisture is squeezed out to prevent the kebabs from falling apart. - 2
Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. Take a generous handful of the mixture and shape it into a large, flat, round patty, about 1/2 inch thick. You can press a thin tomato slice into the center of each kebab for a traditional look (optional).
💡 Conseils de pro: Don't make the patties too thick, as they may not cook through evenly. - 4
Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chapli kebabs in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and cooked through. Avoid flipping them too often; let one side cook completely before turning.
💡 Conseils de pro: Maintain medium heat to ensure the kebabs cook through without burning. - 5
Remove the cooked chapli kebabs from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with naan, raita, salad, or chutney.
💡 Conseils de pro: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For authentic flavor, use beef with about 20% fat. If using leaner meat, you might need to add a bit more binding agent.
- ✓Ensure all wet ingredients like onions and tomatoes are well-drained to prevent the mixture from becoming too loose.
- ✓Kneading the mixture well helps bind the proteins and prevents the kebabs from breaking.
- ✓Don't overcook the kebabs, as they can become dry.
