chicken shami kabab

Ingredients :

• Ground chicken : 500 gm
• Cilantro leaves : 1 tbsp chopped
• Garlic paste : 1 tsp
• Ginger paste : 1 tsp
• Green chilies : 2-3 chopped
• Salt to taste
• Onion : 1 small finely chopped
• Chickpea lentils/channa daal : 4 tbsp (soaked for at least 4 hours)
• Potato : 1 medium peeled and cubed
• Besan : 1 tbsp
• Cumin powder : 1tsp
• Turmeric powder : 1/4 tsp
• Lemon juice : 1/2 tbsp
• Egg: 1 lightly beaten
• Garam masala powder : 1/2 tsp
• Vegetable oil : 2 tbsp

Procedure:

1)  In a frying pan put the chicken with all soaked dal,
     onions and potatoes. Add half a cup of water and
     cook in medium heat until the chicken is cooked
     and the rest of the ingredients (dal/potatoes/onion)
     are all soft. Increase the heat and dry off any excess
     moisture.
2)  Allow this mixture to cool completely.  Then
     grind the mixture until smooth. Pour it in a
     bowl and add besan and half of the beaten egg.
3)  Add the garam masala, salt,lemon juice,ginger
      -garlic paste , green chilies ,cumin powder,
     turmeric powder and chopped coriander.
     Give everything a good mix.If the mixture feels
     dry, you can slowly add the rest of the egg one
     teaspoon at a time and mix. Or if it feels too sticky,
     you can add 1-2 tbsp of breadcrumbs.
4)  Now take a frying pan , heat oil.In mean time shape
     the kababs into flat discs and deep fry them until
     golden brown on both sides.  You can dip them in
     egg before frying if you want, but I prefer my kababs
     to be crispy so I didn’t  dip them in egg.
     Take them out and put them in a serving dish.

      Serve hot with salads.
      Happy cooking!!
