Chapli Kabob
Chapli Kabob, also known as Peshawari Kabob is a minced meat patty. Traditionally made using red meat but I’m going to show you a quick and simply recipe using ground chicken.
The specialty about this specific kabob is that the ground meat used is a super fine ground and mixed with some fat to give it that melt in your mouth taste. If you have access to a good butcher, have them run your ground meat of choice through the grinder 2 to 3 times to get that perfect texture. If you don’t have a butcher no problem, just pulse your ground meat a few times in the food processor to get the texture.
This kabob is a favorite in my home, and one that’s freezer friendly and great for meal prep or unexpected guest.
