Chapli Kebab (Winner of a Cooking Contest )
The Indian subcontinent along with the middle eastern world has been the hub of Kebabs since ages. Since ages Persian and Iranian travelers and rulers have influenced the Indian cuisine introducing dishes like kebabs and biriyanis. Chapli is one of those kebabs which is loved in the streets of Pakistan and India and has derived its name from Chaprikh which means flat in Pashto. Rumor also has it that it is named after slippers which is called Chappal in hindi.. 😊 Either ways it’s a very tasty dish and a very easy one to make and you all should try this at home.
I had submitted this recipe for a cooking contest and it came out as the winner, so double the reason for you all to try it now.

7. Take a flat pan , pour some oil and start heating it.
8. Now place the kebabs carefully in the Pan and start shallow frying them in medium flame.
9. Use a flat spoon to press them while cooking, this will flatten them more and also squeeze out extra oil from the kebab.
