SHAMI KABAB | SHAMI KEBAB

Steps:

• Wash and soak chana dal for about 2 to 4 hours. Well soaked dal provides a good texture to the kababs. Drain it and add to a large pot.
• Add ginger, garlic, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, whole red chilies, garam masala, cinnamon stick, jeera, green cardamoms and chicken. Add water to partially cover the chicken. Do not add too much water.

• Divide the dough to 8 to 10 equal parts and make balls. Flatten them and make kebabs on your palm. Place them on a plate.
• Heat oil for shallow frying in a wide pan. I fried all the kababs in 2 batches.
• Break an egg to a bowl and beat it lightly just to mix the yolk and white uniformly.
• When the oil turns hot enough, dip one kebab each time in the egg and lift it with a fork.
