Raisha Shami Kabab
Raisha Shami Kabab
Shami Kabab or "Syrian Kebab", is a local variety of Kabab. It is a popular Middle Eastern dish all over South and Western Asia. It is composed of a small patty of minced meat, generally beef, but occasionally lamb or mutton, with ground chickpeas and spices. Shami Kabab is eaten as a snack or an appetizer.Shami Kabab is best served with Pilau or Biryani. This recipe is a bit different as I haven't used a chopper to grind the Kabab but instead have just mashed it so that the Kababs are stringy. I especially love these Raisha Kababs as you can enjoy the meaty flavour to the fullest. You may freeze them and fry them when required. It is a great snack and you can use it in many ways.Do give this recipe a try as it is quite simple and very flavourful!
