How To Make Shami Kabab - Chicken Shami Kabab - Kabab Recipe

Shami kababs are silky soft that melt in your mouth. I call it a very healthy kabab as the meat is first boiled with lentils and then shallow fried to get a final touch. It can be made with beef, goat meat, lamb or chicken. Though I cooked the chicken in a pressure cooker, you can also make this in a regular pot. Please add more water if you see the water has dried up but the lentils are yet to get soft. The meat and lentils should all become buttery soft.
Ingredients required for making shami kabab - makes 10 to 12 kababs
* 750 gm/ 1.7 lb skinless chicken thighs with bones
* 200 gm / 7 oz / about a standard US measuring cup chana dal (Bengal gram/ yellow split chickpeas. If using 1kg meat please use 250 gm chana dal.
* 20 gm / 1 oz/ 5 large garlic cloves
* 15 / 0.5 oz / I inch length ginger
* 2 small potatoes or 2 small boiled potatoes
* 6 to7 black peppercorns
* 2 inch length cinnamon stick
* 1 large dry Indian bayleaf or 3 small bayleaves
* 2 dry red chillies (optional)
* 2 teaspoons salt or as per taste
* 2 tablespoons plain unflavored yogurt or a tablespoon thick Greek yogurt
* 130 gm / 5 oz / 1 medium to large onion finely chopped
* 1 teaspoon coriander seeds (dhania)
* 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
* 1 teaspoon heaped garam masala powder
* 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves finely chopped
* 4 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
* 1 cup hot water
* 1/4 th - 1/3 rd cup oil for frying
* one to two eggs
** Points to note -
* Can use beef/goat/lamb meat. Please do not use ground meat as they are dry.
* yogurt is optional but makes the kababs soft
* potatoes are optional but brings in a softness to the kababs.
* please shallow fry the kababs
* you can freeze the kababs - either freeze the boiled mix, then thaw it before cooking, add chopped fresh onions and cilantro after thawing and then form kababs and fry. You can also freeze them after forming kababs. Fry the frozen kababs by placing them in just little warm oil, keep the flame low and let the kababs heat up along with the oil.
Serve these as a side with the main meal, or have it with naan along with a chutney and fresh salad or have it just like a hamburger.

i made these Bumbi. They were delicious. My mix ended up wet and unable to form into patties, so i mixed a cup of gram flour in to it and it worked perfectly!. Thank you Bumbi!

[@helenlevens6278]

Thank you for this recipe Bumbi. I used to go to an Indian restaurant in Melbourne, Australia in the early 1980s, and they served Shami kebabs. They were one of my favourite dishes ever! I haven't been able to find them in any other restaurant or find a recipe for them. You have made me happy, and I will buy the ingredients asap! 😋😍😁

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

So glad you found this video.

[@foxxybrown291]

Bumbi when I was younger in Zimbabwe my mum made coriander chutney but it wasn’t smooth and all the recipes on KZbin have you blitz the mixture. Do you ever make it in a pestle and mortar? xx

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I have tried in mortar and pestle but I am so lazy that’s why seek for the faster blitz process 😀

[@salvesunita247]

Delicious 😋😋😋

[@colinmills3175]

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks

[@timetoseek]

Thank you so much Bumbi, I love your vegetarian recipes, always look appetizing and delicious, I make them at home from time to time... On my phone the title of today's recipe cut-off at "chick...", and I thought you were making a dish with chickpeas, but then saw it is with ground up chicken and bones... Maybe you can also make a vegetarian version of this in the future? Thank you again!!!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

So sorry about that. Though not a shami kabab version but I have a chickpea kabab recipe on my channel - VERY EASY & DELICIOUS CHICKPEA KABAB RECIPE | Yummy Chickpea Recipe | Chana Kabab kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnurknx5r9iSfaM

Namoshka Bumbi 🙏 I have made Shami kabab in the past but the recipe was very complicated, I shall certainly try yours. Do you have the recipe for Kathi kabab? I mean the one from Nizam’s in Kolkata. They are unique and unforgettable and unfortunately not available outside Kolkata. Thanks for posting. 🙏

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I love Nizam’s kathi kabab rolls. I haven’t yet uploaded a recipe for it.

[@ThePamica]

Could I do this with salmon as well please . They look amazing thank you 🙏

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Yes definitely you can but in that case you need to first cook the dal to almost 90% and then add the salmon to it. I won’t be adding the yogurt if making with salmon.

[@ThePamica]

Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@saharaqueen8636]

I found a new way…I fry the onions first then add it to mixture it adds for flavour

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can do that too

[@sokamori28]

can we cook these kebabs in the air fryer?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I haven’t tried it in an air fryer but I think you can.

[@TA-_-456]

I made them but when I fry them it breaks apart 😢 why does that happen? my binding was not soft.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

1. Fry in very less oil 2. Turn them only when one side browns perfectly. 3. Turn gently with a flat thin spatula or a butter knife handling with a lot of care. 4. Add an egg to the mixture next time. I sometimes add just a yolk of an egg. Add only one kabab to the pan first, if it breaks you need to break up the kababs, add an egg yolk and start over again

[@TA-_-456]

@@CurriesWithBumbi thank you for your lovely suggestion ☺️

[@emilychambers5031]

Excellent recipe Bumbi. I love Shami Kababs 🥰 I can't wait to try this recipe. Will be great to have some in the freezer. I really like the egg idea. Thank you ❤xxx
