Shami Kebab

Shami kebab is a popular Pakistani and Indian dish made with minced meat, lentils, and spices.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Wash and soak the chana dal in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water.
In a pressure cooker, add the chicken, soaked chana dal, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and salt. Add enough water to cover the ingredients.
Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles or until the chicken and dal are cooked and tender.
Once cooked, remove the pressure cooker from heat and let the mixture cool down.
In a blender or food processor, blend the cooked chicken and dal mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
Transfer the paste to a mixing bowl and add chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, mint leaves, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat round kebab.
Heat oil in a pan for frying. Dip each kebab in beaten egg and shallow fry until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the kebabs from the pan and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
