Chappal Kabab

Chappal kabab or Chapli kabab is basically KPK (Khyber Pakhtoon khwa) dish. These are mostly found in Peshawar side and are known as Peshawari Chappal kabab.

Chappal Kabab is a cutlet made with ground beef, but its aroma and taste comes from the special spices that are used to make chappal kabab.

I got the recipe from my mom. But I was not fully satisfied with the spices. So I searched on internet. Then I used half of my mom’s recipe and few spices that I found common in different internet recipes.

The Chappal kababs turned really awesome and I and my family enjoyed a lot.

Whenever I make any Pakistani dish be it a curry or cutlets or anything else I divide my recipe in to three parts.

1. Dried Masalas.
2. Wet Masalas or paste.
3. Marination.

 

This makes my work really easy. I would suggest all of you to follow this rule. You will really enjoy your work

I know that these days you can easily get ready made masalas from market. But making each and everything by yourself is real fun and most important you can increase and decrease the quantities of the spices according to you and your family taste and health.
