Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) minced meat (beef or mutton)
  • 1/2 cup chana dal (split chickpeas)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 2-3 green cardamom pods
  • 1 black cardamom pod
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Meat Mixture:

    • In a large pot, combine the minced meat, chana dal, finely chopped onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, green cardamom, black cardamom, cinnamon stick, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and water.
    • Cook over medium heat until the meat and dal are tender and the water has evaporated. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. Grinding the Mixture:

    • Remove the cinnamon stick, black cardamom, and any large pieces of spice.
    • Let the mixture cool slightly, then grind it into a smooth paste using a food processor. If needed, add a little water to help with grinding.

  3. Shaping the Kebabs:

    • Transfer the ground mixture to a bowl and add the chopped cilantro, mint leaves, and beaten egg. Mix well to combine.
    • Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round patties or kebabs.

  4. Frying the Kebabs:

    • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
    • Fry the kebabs in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  5. Serving the Shami Kebabs:

    • Serve hot with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
    • Garnish with lemon wedges and onion rings for an extra burst of flavor.
