About Shami kebab

Shami Kebab is a traditional South Asian dish, commonly enjoyed in Pakistani and Indian cuisines. Made from finely ground beef, lamb, or chicken, it's blended with split chickpeas, aromatic spices like cumin and coriander, ginger, garlic, and herbs such as cilantro and mint. Shami Kebabs are enriched with protein from the meat and chickpeas, making them a filling and energy-packed option. However, they are typically pan-fried in oil, which can elevate their fat content. The dish is often served with a side of chutney or salad, adding fresh flavors and nutrients. While Shami Kebabs can be a nutritious choice when consumed in moderation, opting for baking or grilling instead of frying may make them a healthier alternative. These flavorful patties are not just a treat for the taste buds but also an integral part of festive meals and family gatherings in South Asia.
