The Story

Chapli Kebabs are a beloved street food in Pakistan and are now enjoyed worldwide for their rich, savory taste. These kebabs are made with ground meat, typically beef or lamb, and a combination of aromatic spices that give them their unique flavor. The name "Chapli" is derived from the Pashto word "chaprikh," which means flat, and it perfectly describes the thin, disc-like shape of these kebabs.

Directions

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, finely chopped onion, green chilies, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped fresh coriander, chopped fresh mint, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step

Take a handful of the meat mixture and shape it into a thin, round patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter. Repeat this process to make as many kebabs as desired.

Step

Heat the cooking oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the kebabs in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently press down on the kebabs as they cook to maintain their flat shape.

Step

Transfer the Chapli Kebabs to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced tomatoes, fresh coriander leaves, and mint leaves. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite chutney or raita.

Tips for this recipe

For added flavor, you can also incorporate a beaten egg into the meat mixture before shaping the kebabs. This will help bind the kebabs together and make them even more delicious and tender.
