A Peshawar-style chapli kebab made with boiled eggs and mince, flavoured with pomegranate seeds, green chillies and whole spices, pan-fried on a hot tawa until crisp at the edges.
Ingredients
- 4 boiled eggs, finely chopped
- 250 g beef or chicken mince
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds (anar dana)
- 1 tsp crushed coriander seeds
- 1 tsp crushed cumin seeds

- 1 tsp garam masala

- 2 tbsp besan (gram flour)
- 1 raw egg, beaten (for binding)
- 3 tbsp oil or ghee for frying
- Fresh coriander, chopped
Method
- Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, cool, peel and chop finely.

- Add besan and the beaten raw egg and mix until the mixture holds together.
- Rest the mixture for 10 minutes so the besan absorbs moisture.
