About Chicken shami kebab

Chicken Shami Kebab is a savory dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Pakistani and Indian households. These kebabs are made using minced chicken blended with a mix of yellow split peas (chana dal), finely ground spices such as cumin, coriander, and garam masala, as well as fragrant ginger, garlic, and green chilies. The mixture is bound together with eggs, shaped into patties, and shallow-fried until golden brown. Rich in protein due to the chicken and lentils, Shami Kebabs can offer balanced nutrition when consumed in moderation. However, the frying process can increase the fat content, and traditional recipes may use generous amounts of oil. To make them healthier, you can bake or air-fry them instead. Typically served with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or chutneys, these kebabs are a flavorful addition to a wholesome meal or snack plate.
