Pakistani Chapli Kebab

(13)

Chapli kebab is a minced meat patty widely popular in Pakistan. Mixed with a blend of spices, ground beef is flattened into patties and shallow-fried until the exterior is charred and flavorful. Serve in a bun with pickled red onions or with a side of pita bread. My raita (yogurt dip) recipe makes a great addition.
