Ingredients for Chapli Kababs

1.5 pounds Minced Beef (approx. 750g)
1 Medium Red Onion Chopped and diced
1 Medium Tomato Deseeded and diced
2 Green Chillies Diced
3 Tablespoons Cilantro (Fresh coriander) Chopped

Instructions

How to make Chapli Kababs

In a large bowl add the diced onion, tomato, chillies, garlic and cilantro (coriander).
Add the minced beef and mix well with the chopped vegetables.
Mix in the cumin, salt, and pepper. Then add the lemon juice.
Add the egg to the meat and mix with hands until all the meat is evenly coated.
Add in the flour and with your hands make a flat pattie. Around 1cm thick.
Heat oil in a frying pan to medium heat.
Shallow fry the patties in the hot oil for approx 3-5 minutes on each side. I usually fry around 3 at a time.
Serve with your preferred chutney sauce, yogurt dip, spiced onions, side salad, and pitta or naan bread.

Notes

Why are my kababs not staying together when being fried?

The meat may be too sticky. You can add a little more flour to the mixture to reduce this.

Can I make the kababs in advance?

Yes, you can make the kababs in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooking.

Are Chapli Kebabs gluten free?

Chapali kebabs usually include wheat flour which is not gluten-free. I used gluten free flour to make gluten free kebabs.
