Murg Chapli Kabab ~ Chicken Chapli Kabab

 

Murg Chapli kabab is a delicious mince kabab with a hint of sour and spicy flavors shaped into a flat patty along with tomato and fried to perfection.

Chapli Kabab is very popular street food and a Peshawari dish, also popular in India and Afghanistan. It is a flat round kabab that resembles the front part of the sandal, that is how it gets its name as ‘chapli’.
 
Chapli Kabab is mainly made out of ground beef or mutton along with fat content. But if you are trying to make it with chicken, you need to add a scrambled egg to give it extra softness. As you might have noticed that any kind of chicken mince kababs tend to dry out as we fry them.
 
 
Another important and unique ingredient in this kabab is dry pomegranate seeds and tomato. These ingredients add extra sourness to this spicy kabab making it quite different from the rest of the kababs. This kabab can be shallow fried as well as deep-fried, the choice is yours. Normally it is shallow fried with lots of oil as there are 2 binding ingredients like chickpea flour and egg which keep the kabab intact even while deep frying.
 
I have tried to make a homemade chapli kabab masala just to avoid the store-bought ones which are full of preservatives and additives. And I have tried to keep the spice mix as minimal and simple as possible. Also have a quick look at the video to see all the steps and procedures to make this soft, juicy, and appetizing kabab.

Chicken Chapli Kabab is very delicate to handle, that is why I have used a cling wrap to shape it, and it becomes easier to take the shaped kabab in our hands and then transfer it to the pan. By using a cling wrap or a clean plastic sheet, you can make large chapli kababs as well.

Tips:

If the kababs break while frying, you can a little more chickpea flour. I have mentioned 1 raw egg which should be a large one. If you have very small size eggs, then add 2 of them. Do not over mix after adding tomatoes, as it releases water. Add chopped tomato just before frying.

Adding sliced tomato to the kabab is optional, you can skip this step.
