Shami Kebab Recipe

A famous and good bite or hors d'oeuvre made with black chickpeas and various flavors. It is also very popular in the Muslim community when made with minced meat, especially chicken or lamb. During the holy month of Ramadan, it is often served as an iftar dish.
Kebab dishes are very common for snacks not only in India and Pakistan but also in the Middle East and Western countries. Patty recipe is one of these shami kebab recipe which is very popular in South East Asian countries. Especially during the fasting month of Ramadan, it is a popular snack.
As I mentioned earlier, Shami Kebab recipe can be prepared in many different ways. For the benefit of non-vegetarians, this recipe is prepared with predominantly vegetarian ingredients. However, the most common combination is still meat, especially chicken. However, meat-based kebabs actually use black chickpeas and egg yolks to shape the meat at the end. Don't like this recipe at all, I have used all the vegetarian options with only black chickpeas. Similarly, as an alternative to egg yolk, I have used gram flour which helps in boiling at the same time. Thus making an optimal Shami Kebab vegetable lovers alternative.
Furthermore, I would like to add some useful hints, tips and variations to shami kebab recipe. Firstly, the recipe generally calls for black chickpeas, but you can use other types as well. For example, you can use white chickpeas, or chana dal, as in the falafel recipe, and it will work just as well. Second, these kebabs are pan-fried to golden brown, crispy perfection. However, for a healthier option, it can be either deep or superficially fried. lastly, since chickpeas provide a crunchy texture, outer coating is unnecessary. However, for a more crunchy treat, you can also use bread crumbs, crushed oats, bread slices or rusk powder.
