Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 50 grams Chana dal (Bengal gram)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Cilantro (coriander leaves)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the chana dal thoroughly, soak it in water for at least 30 minutes, and then drain.
In a large pan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and drained chana dal. Add 1 cup of water, garlic paste, ginger paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper powder.
Cook the mixture until the water has evaporated completely and the dal is soft, approximately 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cooled, blend the mixture in a food processor until it forms a smooth, uniform texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the chopped onion, green chilies, cilantro, garam masala, and the egg. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
Shape the mixture into small, flat patties of about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the kababs in batches, cooking each side for approximately 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the Keto Shami Kababs hot with a side of yogurt dip or a fresh salad.
