Chapli Kebab

Pakistan · South Asia

Short description: A broad, spicy minced-meat patty with crisp edges, often served with flatbread, lemon, and cooling sauce.
Ingredients: Ground meat is mixed with tomato, onion, green chili, coriander, pomegranate seed, cumin, and egg, then shallow-fried.
Cultural note: Often made large and shallow-fried, it belongs to roadside grills and family platters where crisp edges matter.
Common misconception: It is flatter and broader than many kebabs, closer to a spiced patty than a skewer.
