About Shami
Shami kebab is a flavorful patty originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Pakistan and India. Traditionally made with ground meat, such as beef or lamb, it’s combined with split chickpeas (chana dal) and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, creating a tender, protein-rich dish. The mixture is usually bound with eggs and fried until golden brown, giving it a crispy exterior. Shami kebabs are often served as appetizers, snacks, or paired with flatbreads and mint chutney. While they are rich in protein and fiber due to the meat and chickpeas, they can be high in fat depending on preparation methods, especially if fried in excess oil. Baking or shallow frying can be healthier options. Shami kebabs are an excellent choice for those seeking a satisfying and nutrient-dense dish with a robust flavor profile.
