Juicy, flavorful Chapli Kabobs combine ground beef with herbs and spices, offering a spicy, aromatic experience perfect for grilled or pan-fried servings, ideal for gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, flour, beaten egg, chili powder, salt, ginger, and garlic together.
- Add the ground beef to the mixture and combine well.
- Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into flat patties and cook on a hot griddle or frying pan until browned and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, feel free to add more green chilies or a dash of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a leaner option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Ensure the patties are evenly shaped for consistent cooking. You can also use bread crumbs instead of flour for added texture. Achieve a perfect crust by preheating the griddle well before cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Chapli Kabob pairs beautifully with a side of naan or rice, along with a fresh salad or yogurt sauce for dipping. Consider serving it with a tangy chutney for added flavor. It also complements dishes like Sancocho, making for a delightful meal spread. Garnish with extra coriander leaves for a fresh touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, covered, but this may make them less crispy.
