Shami Kebab
9 steps
Prep:15minCook:2h
Shami kebabs are patties made with meat and split lentils. Traditionally the recipe has more meat than the split lentils. However, this recipe is made on a 3:1 ratio where 3 is the split lentil, and 1 is the meat. Tastes great if coupled with mint chutney. It can be eaten on its own but can be put in a wrap or a sandwich or with roti and rice. The portion usually would be two shami kebabs. These can be frozen as well.
