Chapli kebab is from Peshawar in Pakistan.It's popular in Afghanistan also.Chapli is derived from the Pashto wors 'chaprikh', which means flat.
Maize flour is also known as corn meal.Cornmeal is a coarse flour ground from dried maize (corn) and is yellowish in colour. It is usually ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies. But it is not as fine as wheat flour. It is the second most produced and consumed flour after wheat flour. It is yellow coloured flour with coarse texture. It is easily available in grocery stores. Mexican tortillas, nachos and tacos are made with maize flour. Corn meal is different from corn flour or corn starch. Corn starch is also known as corn flour. It is extracted from the endosperm of corn. This white corn starch is most often used as a thickening agent for sauces, gravies, etc.
NOTE:-
1)Adding red capsicum gives a nice speckled colour to the kebabs. This is entirely optional.
2)Dried pomegranate seeds gives a nice taste, if available, add.I did not have it when i made this, so left out the ingredient.
3)Baking soda softens meat. Add this only half an hour before frying or kebabs will be too soft and fall apart.
