Chicken Shami Kebab is a popular North Indian and Pakistani appetizer known for its tender and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
It is made from finely ground chicken (or sometimes lamb) mixed with chana dal (split Bengal gram), onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, cloves, and cinnamon. The mixture is ground into a fine paste, shaped into patties or kebabs, and shallow-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
