Have you ever made Shami Kebab at home before? If so, share your experience. Write in at least 150 words.(2 Marks)

I have eaten delicious Shami Kabab many times before at my home and at my relatives' houses. But I have never made this delicious Shami Kabab myself. I always thought it was very difficult to make such a perfect round Kabab, so I did not have the courage to make it myself. However, this time, in the first week of Steemit Challenge Season 28, the delicious Shami Kabab post organized by @jimiaera02 Apu gave me new courage. Seeing her post, I felt that this time I too can try making this delicious Shami Kabab. Finally, I was able to make Shami Kabab.

Step 01

To make Shami Kabab, I first took 500 grams of beef and 1 cup of lentils. Then I soaked the lentils in water for about 4/5 hours. After soaking the lentils for 4/5 hours, they swelled and doubled in size.

---

Step 02

I drained the water from the dal and kept it in a separate bowl. Then I added 500 grams of boneless and lean beef. I washed the beef well with water and added it. I cut the beef into small pieces so that it cooks well. Then I added 1 tablespoon ginger paste, garlic paste, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1 tablespoon cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder, 2 bay leaves, 5 small white cardamoms, 3 cinnamon sticks, 5 cloves, 3 black cardamoms, 1 tablespoon salt, half a cup chopped onion and 2 tablespoons pure mustard oil as per the above mentioned quantity.

---

Step 03

After adding all the above mentioned ingredients, I mixed it well with the beef and dal. Then I added 2 cups of water to the mixed beef and dal and placed the pot of mixed beef and dal on the stove. I cooked the beef and dal on medium heat for about 1 hour. After the beef and dal mixture was cooked, I removed the pot from the stove and let it cool.

---

Step 04

After the cooked beef and lentil mixture cooled down, I took out the cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and bay leaves and put them in a separate bowl. Then I put the beef and lentil mixture in a blender jar and blended it. I did not blend the beef and lentil mixture very finely. After blending the beef and lentil mixture, I put it in a separate bowl.

---

Step 05

At this stage, I added finely chopped onion, chopped green chillies and chopped coriander leaves to the above mentioned beef and lentil mixture. Then, I mixed the onion, chopped green chillies and chopped coriander leaves together with the beef and lentil mixture with my hands.

---

Step 06

Now it's time to add the eggs to the beef and lentil mixture. Here I have used two eggs to bind the mixture. I have used two eggs along with the yolk to bind the mixture, you can omit the egg yolk if you want. Then I added everything including the egg yolk to the mixed mixture and mixed it well. Now this mixture is completely ready to make Shami Kabab.

---

Step 07

Now I took a small amount of the beef and dal mixture in my hand. And with the help of my palm, I shaped the kebab into the shape of my choice. It is better to use hand gloves while making the kebab, but since I did not have hand gloves, I shaped it without using hand gloves. Then I made kebabs with all the mixture in the same way and placed them on a plate.

I want to share my delicious and healthy dish "Shami Kabab" made by myself with my dear school friend and current Steemit friend @shabiha-jahan. Because I have eaten many dishes made by her and every time I am impressed by the taste of her cooking. So this time I wanted to gift her the taste of my own hands. To make the delicious and healthy dish "Shami Kabab", I have carefully mixed the spices, cooked the meat well and fried each kebab perfectly. I want to share this dish with her, for me it is not just a dish, but a way to express gratitude for friendship. I want her to enjoy eating my "Shami Kabab" and understand that friendship does not only exist in words, but also in small expressions of love. I hope she will enjoy my efforts and our friendship will become sweeter.
