About Chapli Kebab
Mirriam Seddiq presents chapli kabab as a Pashtun staple found in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Her Afghan rendition forms ground beef, onion, garlic and fresh herbs into flat patties, then fries them for a crisp exterior.
Coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger and chilli season the meat. The chopped aromatics run through the mixture, while flour helps bring the ingredients together in this particular recipe.
The broad, flat patties are served with Afghan yogurt sauce and green chutney. The author also suggests pickles, fresh vegetables and Afghan bread as accompaniments to make a larger meal.
