About Shami kabab

Shami Kabab is a popular, flavorful delicacy from South Asian cuisine, particularly associated with Pakistani and Indian culinary traditions. These tender patties are made from ground meat, typically beef, mutton, or chicken, combined with lentils, aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and garam masala, and fresh herbs like cilantro and green chilies. Egg is often used as a binder. The mixture is slow-cooked before being shaped into round patties and pan-fried until golden brown. Shami Kababs are rich in protein due to the meat and lentils, offering satiety and energy. However, the frying process can increase calorie and fat content, making them less suitable for low-fat diets if prepared with excess oil. Pairing them with a fresh salad or whole-grain bread can offer a more balanced nutritional profile. Shami Kababs are a sumptuous treat that combines wholesome ingredients with bold flavors.
