Shami kebabs or pattie may be the best kebabs in the world. These kebabs are made exceptionally silky due to the addition of the channa dal and the fine mincing in an electric mincer/blender. The result is a smooth, soft, melt-in-the-mouth pattie. Read more . They can be made in advance, frozen and fried when needed. This pan-fried kabab can be made with goat meat/mutton or lamb or beef but tastes best when made with mutton or lamb. Serve it with Mint-Coriander Chutney.
