Shami kebab || Shami Kabab Recipe || How to Make Shami Kabab Recipe with step-by-step photos...

Shami kabab is a very traditional and popular Pakistani recipe; typically, every household in Pakistan prepares shami kabab. It can be cooked with mutton, beef, lamb, and chicken.

But I prefer to make shami kebab with chicken; the real taste of shami kebab only comes with mutton and beef.

In most houses, shami kebab is made with mince, but I did use beef boti(meat). If you want reader keba,o you will have to make it with small pieces of meat.

Perfect for party dinner or any special occasion, this recipe is a combination of lentils, meat, and some whole spices, cooked all together in water, and then blended well right after giving it kebab shape; dip it in egg batter, then fry. Egg dipping is an optional choice for you.

I never do it; I simply fry it in the pan and then serve. Shami kebab goes well with paratha, naan, pulao, and biryani. i

Secondly, People mostly complain that their kebabs break while frying …so the trick for frying perfect kebabs is to let them cook completely from 1 side first without touching them, then flip them…and they will not break.

You can do one more variation and trick with shami kebab to bring smoky flavor to the kebab. After blending the kebab meat, burn the charcoal, place one foil or steel bowl in the center of the ground meat, then put coal in it and drizzle some ghee over the charcoal and cover the lid properly. Leave it for 10 minutes so that the smoke can be absorbed properly.

Unfortunately, I couldn't do this just because coal isn't available at home, but if you have you must do it, so let the go-ahead to learn how to make tasty Shami kababs.

Important points to remember while making bhindi:

Bhindi, also known as lady's finger, is a very sticky vegetable that can become difficult to handle while cutting or chopping. To avoid excessive stickiness, it is important to follow these steps

Wash the Bhindi: Begin by washing the bhindi thoroughly

Dry the Bhindi: After washing, wipe it with a cloth until it is completely dry and free of moisture. This step is crucial to prevent stickiness during cooking.

Trim and Chop: Next, chop off the head and tail of the bhindi. Then, slice it into the desired pieces. If you cut bhindi or lady's finger directly after washing, without drying it first, the entire curry or sabzi will turn out sticky. Keep these tips in mind when preparing bhindi to ensure the best results!

Simple Arbi Fry || Taro Root Fry || How to Make Arbi Fry with step-by-step photos and Video

Arbi Fry (taro roots) is a simple, easy, and delicious vegetarian dish that can be prepared within 20 minutes.

Arbi, for those who don’t know, is the Urdu name for the taro root. It has a subtly sweet taste and is often used in savory recipes in Pakistan.

Mainly, I learned this recipe from my mother, who used to make it with a very simple method, and it always tasted very good. An interesting fact about me is that I didn’t eat ladyfingers or taro root during my childhood. Whenever my mother used to cook, I didn’t eat at all.

But the first time I heard about both vegetables, I learned that they are so beneficial for bones. Since then, I started including these veggies on our menu. And Alhamdulillah, now I'm extremely fond of eating bhindi (lady-fingers) and arbi (taro root). Especially fried arbi or bhindi. I also have a FRIED BHINDI recipe on my blog.

My Latest Simple Arbi Fry:

This arbi fry is simpler, with just a few ingredients, while the masala adds onion paste and spices.

Today, I am sharing one of my favorite ways to cook arbi. This simple arbi fry is a super simple recipe where arbi is fried with spices in a large quantity of oil. And it isn’t used with water at all.

The ingredients are pretty simple; I don’t add any onion, garlic, or tomato to this arbi fry. It is just the spices tossed with lemon juice and then finished with green chilies and cilantro.

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photos, video, and instructions tips and video below.

Taro Roots Health Benefits:

Taro root is a vegetable used in a variety of cuisines around the world. It has a mild, nutty taste, starchy texture, and nutritional benefits that make it a healthier alternative to other root vegetables like potatoes. Taro root is commonly added to savory dishes or fried as a snack, but it can also add creaminess and purple color to sweet recipes.

Taro is rich in nutrients that can provide important health benefits. A one-cup serving has a third of your daily recommended intake of manganese, which contributes to a good metabolism, bone health, and blood clotting.

Its high levels of vitamins can also promote healthy vision, skin, circulation, and immune system function.
