About Chicken shami kabab

Chicken Shami Kabab is a flavorful dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Pakistani and Indian households. Made primarily with minced chicken, mixed lentils (typically chana dal), aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, along with ginger, garlic, and fresh herbs, Shami Kababs are shaped into patties and pan-fried to perfection. Traditionally served as appetizers or snacks, they pair well with chutneys or as part of a main meal. From a nutritional perspective, Chicken Shami Kababs are a good source of protein due to the lean chicken content and lentils. They also provide dietary fiber and essential nutrients from the herbs and spices. However, they can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of oil used for frying. For a healthier version, shallow frying or baking can reduce excess fat while still retaining their signature taste and texture.
