Mutton Chapli Kabab / kebab

 

           Mutton Chapli Kebab, also known as Peshawari Kebab, is very popular and is commonly found in restaurants world wide. It is also a famous street food in Peshawar and in North India. The word Chapli refers to flat in Pushto language. So these kababs are round in shape and flat with a sliced tomato in the centre. 

          It is prepared with minced mutton, chicken or beef. However, in this recipe, I have used mutton mince and few other basic ingredients. Tried it for the first time and it came out just perfect with incredible flavors. It is a very easy recipe. All it needs to be done is to mix all the ingredients (except oil and tomato slices), make patties and shallow or deep fry. It's that simple. 

            So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and give it a try by following the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it and relish as an appetizer with green chutney. They can also be served as a main course with naan, tandoori roti or pita bread. For a healthier version it can be grilled to perfection. You may also have it as a burger complete with all the toppings of your choice.
