Chapli Kababs || Chapli Kababs Recipe || How to Make Chicken Chapli Kabab with Step-by-step Photos
Chicken Chapli Kababs are another version of Peshawari chapli kababs, which are prepared with
lamb, beef, or mutton meat, but the authentic Peshawari chapli kabab is made with
lamb meat and some fat. This chapli kabab is prepared with the same
ingredients, just using chicken meat rather than lamb/beef.
Chicken chapli kabab is absolutely tender
chicken keema meat infused with such flavorful spices and given a flat disc shape resembling a patty. Make these minced chicken kababs easily on a skillet
with drizzles of oil. A perfect candidate for barbecue parties, this Chapli Kabab just melts in the mouth every single time.
To be very honest, these chicken chapli kababs aren’t substituted for Peshawari chapli kabab, even then, it’s delicious and
succulent in its place. The reason is that I used thigh meat in this recipe
instead of breast pieces, because thigh meat is a soft, tender, and juicy part of
the chicken, so I prefer using thigh meat if it is available easily in your area.
Chicken chapli kababs are simple and easy to
make, and you can store them for around 1-2 weeks. Also shared chapli kabab masala powder in my previous recipes
Additionally, I would like to tell my readers that in the forthcoming days, I am going to share short videos of recipes on my blog
along with photos, so that you can get a better understanding of my recipes
Chicken Chapli Kabab ingredients:
Chicken
keema or chicken meat: using thigh meat, the finer the better
Tomatoes: choose juicy ripe
tomatoes for the best flavor and no excessive tang
Roughly
chopped coriander and mint: these chopped herbs are an essential part of this recipe. Never think of skipping it, it is so typical of the chapli kabab recipe that makes it
complete.
Onion: chop them finely for the best results. You can either use a white onion or a red onion.
Ginger+garlic
powder: if
you don’t have powders, add freshly ground ginger garlic paste
Green
chilies: These
kababs are best served spicy and hot
You may omit them if you hate spicy food
Egg: In this recipe, egg is a must; it boosts the fat content of the meat and makes the kababs so juicy and
tender
Tips to Make the Best Chicken Chapli Kabab:
- These are a few things you need to take care of to better understand
- Meat minced with some amount of fat is very
necessary for the chapli kabab recipe, as this fat will make the kababs
tender, moist, and juicy. If
the chicken keema is lean, add some extra fat (the white soft oily part) from
regular chicken meat. Process the keema and the extra fat in a food processor.
- Don’t skip the eggs from this recipe,e as we have seen many people avoid eating eggs due to health issues, or many of them don’t
like
- But you are keen to eat authentic chapli kabab, so you have to compromise with that for a while. This is because the egg adds tons
of fat to the meat, making the kababs super juicy and tender, especially if the
chicken mince is super lean. The egg will help to add so much essential fat to
the recipe
- After mixing all ingredients with the chicken
mince, allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. Don’t skip this
step if you are in a hurry, because it is an essential step of this
recipe. It will help to firm up the chicken mince, and you can easily shape all
the patties
- Adding chopped fresh coriander and mint adds a burst of flavor; I would not recommend
skipping it under any circumstances
- The chicken chapli kababs are so sticky and
soft. Don’t Worry
- It has to be this way. Don’t add breadcrumbs; instead, moisten your palm
with drops of water or oil and shape the kababs. You’ll find it so easy to shape
them this way
- Medium heat is just so important for this
recipe, as it allows the kababs to cook slowly and uniformly, keeping them juicy
and moist
