kcalChapli Kebab or Kabab is a Pashtun-style minced kebab, usually made from ground beef with simple spices in the shape of a patty and fried. Chapli Kabab originally comes from the northern areas, in particular Peshawer, capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The Pekhawri Chapli Kabab is made with beef and is a popular Street Food throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of Pakistan, as well as in eastern Afghanistan.
Originally made with beef in Peshawar, it can now be found with chicken and lamb as well. Depending on region, Chapli Kabab recipe has evolved, adding regional spices to it. But in Peshawar, Chapli Kababs are still prepared with minimum ingredients. This is my version of the recipe – hope you enjoy it!
