The Shami Kabab recipe is a local variety of flat, round shaped kabab and is a great part of the Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Indian cuisines. It is made by minced meat, usually chicken but mutton and beef variants are also eaten all over the Indian subcontinent. The minced meat patty is also assorted with ground chickpeas that are usually boiled before the grinding process. This patty is then usually fried with a beaten egg to hold it together. Most of the times, Shami kabab is eaten as a snack or an appetizer but it is also used to prepare other snacks like sandwiches like the notorious anda Shami burger recipe.
