Notes

  • If you like resha kabab then prepare with meat boti rather using ground meat.
  • Don't make too much water during boiling kabab mixture.
  • Properly manage the proportion of dal and meat as it will make a big influence on kabab taste. 
  • If you want to store shami kabab then avoid raw onion when making shami. Onion will change the taste in long run.
  • If kabab mixture gets thin then add roasted gram flour in it.
  • Don't skip egg as it will give quality frying to kabab.
  • Also avoid too much during frying.
