Mutton Chapli Kababs

Chapli Kabab is a Mughlai influenced Pashtun styled minced Kebab usually made with ground Beef, Chicken or Mutton shaped into a patty and either deep or shallow fried. My grandmother's delicious Kabab recipe will surely win everyone's heart hands down. It originated in Peshawar, today North West of Pakistan and hence popularly known as Peshawari Kabab. These are easily done on stove top with few special spices. The word Chapli is derived from a Pashto word chaprikh meaning 'flat' referring to the light, round and flattened texture that just melts in your mouth. Served best with Naans, these can be eaten with Pita bread or Buns too. Kids will love these soft, juicy and succulent Kabab and can be an added attraction at any party, family get togethers or reunions. Happy Cooking with Zee!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator well covered for about an hour. This is the most important step.

* Step 2

Egg can also be added to it if desired as I have done here. However it is optional but it enhances the flavour of these Kababs even more. Authentic one's are made using Egg on the streets of Peshawar. Fry Egg normally as we do without Salt and Pepper at first. Now add this to the marinated Kabab mixture. Give it a final mix.

* Step 3

Now shape into round Kababs and shallow fry them on a non-stick tawa or a pan. Fry few at a time on both the sides by turning over two to three times. Press a slice of Tomato on the Kabab and shallow fry them on a low heat with a lid on. As these are Mutton Chapli Kababs, they will get done in 10-12 minutes for each batch. They can be deep fried also as per one's own preference.

* Step 4

Cover them with a lid to ensure even cooking. Serve with Mint raita or any Chutney of your choice. These taste heaven with homemade Butter Naans. I did just the same friends. Yum!
