Photo Credit: evgenyb / 123RF Stock Photo Article ID: 751 [Recipes- Winter 2017] Ingredients: 500g boneless beef cubes 1/2 gram dal/Chana dal 2 onions roughly chopped 2 cup water 1 inch cinnamon sticks, 2 pieces 6 cloves 8 peppercorn seeds 1 tsp turmeric powder 2 tsp cumin seed 1 tsp red chilli powder Salt to taste 1 tsp ginger paste 1 tsp garlic paste 2 eggs beaten 4 green chillies A handful of cilantro roughly chopped Oil for frying Instructions: In a pan, add the meat, onion, water, Chana dal, cinnamon, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin seeds and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat. Cook everything until all of the water has evaporated from it and the meat is tender. If water is present in the mixture, the binding of the kebab will be difficult and they will just fall apart. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool. Grind the meat in a mincer machine or food processor along with the green chillies, and coriander leaves. Divide the mixture equally into small, lemon sized portions and shape each of them into a circle. Heat the oil in a pan and dip the Shamis into the beaten eggs and fry the Shamis until they are golden brown in color. Remove and drain the excess oil on kitchen towels. Serve hot with mint chutney and tomato sauce.
