Ingredients

Ingredients required for making Shami Kabab:

Ingredients	Quantity
Beef	400 grams
Chana dal	1 cup
Chopped onion	1 cup
Chopped Green chilli	3-4 pcs
Chopped coriander leaves	1/2 cup
Turmeric powder	1 teaspoon
Chili powder	1 tablespoon
Coriander powder	1 teaspoon
Cumin powder	1 teaspoon
Black pepper powder	1/4 teaspoon
Ginger & Garlic paste	2 tbsp
Egg	2 pcs
Cinnamon	2 pcs
Bay leaves	2 pcs
White cardamom	3- 4 pcs
Black cardamom	2 pcs
Cloves	4-5 pcs
Salt	1 tbsp
Mustard oil	2 tablespoons

Making Process

Step 1:

To make Shami Kabab, you need to add lentil to the beef and the lentil must be half the amount of beef. Here I have taken 1 cup of lentil for 400 grams of beef. I soaked 1 cup of lentil in a bowl with plenty of water for at least 4 hours.

Step 2:

When the daal is well soaked and soft, I drain it from the water and put it in a bowl. I added 400 grams of boneless and fat-free beef to the dal, which I cut into small pieces for quick cooking. Now I added 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, 1 teaspoon of garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 2 pieces of cinnamon, 4 white cardamoms, 2 black cardamoms, 1/4 teaspoon of black chili powder, 2 bay leaves, 4 cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, Half a cup of chopped onion and 2 tablespoons of mustard oil.

Step 3:

After adding all the ingredients, I mixed it very well with the lentils and beef. Then I added 2 cups of water and put the pot on the stove. I cooked the meat and lentils on medium heat for about 1 hour. After the meat and lentil mixture was cooked, I left it to cool.

Step 4:

After cooling the beef and dal mixture, I took bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves separately. Now I took the mixture in a blender jar and blended it, there is no need to blend it too finely. Then, while eating the kebab, it will be nice to eat the meat pieces falling under your teeth. After blending, I kept it in a mixing bowl.

Step 5:

At this stage, I added chopped coriander leaves, chopped onion, and chopped chili to the blended mixture. Then I mixed everything together with my hands.

Step 6:

I used two egg whites with the mixture for binding. Then I mixed everything very well. The mixture is ready to make Shami Kabab.

Step 7:
Now, I took a little of the mixture and shaped it into the shape of the kebabs I wanted. I made all the kebabs in the same way and kept them in a bowl.

Step 8:

To fry the kebabs, I heated oil in a pan on the stove. The kebabs must be fried in deep oil. The oil should be heated well by keeping the stove on high heat. At this stage, the kebabs should be left in the oil. When both sides turn slightly red, the kebabs can be moved from side to side. At this stage, the stove should be kept on low heat and fried. When they turn brown, drain the oil and take out the kebabs.

I will place it on a tissue to absorb excess oil.
