Chapli Kabab
Chapli Kabab
Chapli Kabab is a form of kabab widely popular in Pakistan especially in Peshawar. Mixed together with a blend of spices, the beef is flattened and shallow-fried. The patty must have a charred outer for an authentic look and flavour. In India, it is eaten as a regular street food in some of the popular cities. It can be served and eaten hot with naan, salad and some tangy chutney. The name "Chapli" is said to be derived from the Pashto word chaprikh, meaning "flat" – alluding to the kebab's light, round and flattened texture.My boys love mince and I usually make Chapli Kababs to give a bit of variation. This is a very simple and easy dish but it's packed with flavours. Although the outer layer of the Kabab needs to be charred but the Kabab is soft from the inside. This is a crowd pleaser dish and can be on the menu of your next party!
