An authentic Kabaab recipe from my beautiful city Hyderabad with it's melt in mouth textured juicy and succulent extravaganza is one to die for. These are shallow fried to golden brown and crisp with an Hung curd filling in between. The name Shikampuri means 'full tummy' referring to the fact that these Kabaabs are stuffed with Hung curd mix. After the Mughals advent in India, some spices, dried Fruits, Nuts and scented ingredients were introduced like Rose, Kewda from Countries like Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan. These were then incorporated with our locally available ingredients and thus came into form many Mughlai dishes in Hyderabad along with other parts of the Country. These Kabaabs are one such brilliant examples of this. Try them for Iftaar meals too. Ramadan is one such festive occasion where these are made extensively in most of the Indian Muslim homes.
Happy Hyderabadi Cooking Everyone!

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

40-45 minutes

1

First of all roast all the whole spices on a low heat and grind to a powder. Add this to the beef in the pressure cooker along with the rest of the ingredients. Add little water to it about half a glass and pressure cook on a high heat for 8-10 whistles or as required.

2

Let the pressure settle down before opening the lid. If there is any water left, cook for a few minutes until it dries up. For good kababs, it should always be remembered that there should not be any trace of moisture.

Grind this kabab mix to a smooth paste and keep aside. Add some of the cashewnut paste to the kabab ground mix too. It makes them more flavourful.

Mix everything well in the hung curd and set aside too. Before you proceed with the rest of the process, make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly. Use a small ball of the kabab mix, shape into a round patty. Spoon up a tablespoon of the hung curd mix on it. Make a dent if possible as a well and then fill up the mix. Cover with another patty or make one big patty and then seal the edges properly by pressing slightly with your fingers.

Keep a pan ready for shallow frying on a low heat. Add these Shikampuri Kababs. Do it in batches of 2 or 3. Do not over crowd the pan. These had to be done on a low heat until golden brown and crisp. Flip over to the other side only when fully done on one side. This will prevent them from breaking. And one more thing to remember is to take proper ratio of daal and beef or mutton. 100 gm daal to 1 kg of beef/mutton.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
