SLC28-W1 // "Shami Kebab

Today I am once again participating in another challenge of the Steemit learning season 28. In this amazing journey I learn a lot of different recipes and kebabs making methods. Today we learned how to make Shami kebab at home with very simple and cheap ingredients and spices. These are one of those who provide very good taste and flavour in few and less ingredients and spices. These kebabs are very famous among children and they eat them very happily.

In our homes kebab are mainly serving with biryani and tea and for preparing for family, guests and in parties. In this week prepare a complete recipe of Shami Kebab at home. This recipe is full of protein rich because it has both meat and Dal.

1. Have you ever made Shami Kebab at home?

Yes of course I make it many times Shami Kebabs at home. This is one of those meals which are made easily at home without any difficulty and make it whenever you want to made it and also when you are making it in a very large quantity and stored in the refrigerator because whenever you want to eat, just frying and eat. At first I barely shaped the right shape of the kebabs but with the time I know the perfect consistency of the mixture and now I easily made it.
I always thought that the main part of the Shami Kebab's is the perfect balance and quantity of the meat and Dal. If you select in it in the right quantity then kebab making process is very easy for everyone. In my house my family always wanted Shami kebab with rice and at lunch and when they want it with tea. I make Shami kebab at three to four times in month for fulfilling the demand of it in my house.
