History of Shami Kebab 
Shami Kebab originated from Lucknow with the chef of Nawab Asaf-ud-dulah. Nawab Sahib was a great epicure, and as result, he sacrificed his teeth. Therefore he ordered his chef to cook something that he could eat "Meat " without chewing.
  Let's put our teeth at ease and cook a Flavorful Shami kebab.

We need 
1 kg Grounded beef
1cup Chana Daal 
1 Inch piece of Ginger 
5-7 pods of Garlic 
1 tbsp jeera
One stick of  cinnamon, 
 2-3 black cardamom
5-6 cloves
1/4 tsp whole black pepper 
1 tbsp coriander powder
1tbsp Salt, or to taste 
1 tsp heaped red chillies powder 
1 tsp turmeric, 
1,1\2 cup water 
1tbsp Garam Massala ( grounded)

Next 
We will put all ingredients in a pan, and cook until the water is dry.  If we are using a pressure cooker 5-7 whistles will be enough, if still water remains, let it dry. 

Grind it in pestle and mortar for the best flavour or else a chopper can be used to grind. Add finely crushed 4-5 Green chillies at this stage to enhance the taste.
 We have to grind it into a fine soft dough-type paste.
Let's make medium round-shaped flat patties and keep placing them in a tray.
 Tip ;
Can we freeze Shami Kebab?
 Yes! We can keep this tray in the freezer, once it froze we will transfer it to a zip lock bag or box.It can stay fresh in fridge until 2-3weeks , depending on load- shedding.

In the last dip the Shami Kebab in beaten egg and shallow fry in oil until it's golden brown. 

Enjoy Shami Kebab
with tea as a snack, or as a side dish with pulao, biryani, and daal chawal.  
Shami kebab can also be used in sandwiches and Shami Kebab burgers.

Is Shami kebab healthy? 

Shami kebab is not only healthy but also it's good for weight loss. 
There are approximately 153 calories in one  Shami Kebab.
As  Francois de la Rochefoucauld said,
"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art ".

Every best home-cooked recipe has a common secret ingredient and that is love.
