Chapli Kabab With Dry Fruits....by Ayesha Md

Chapli Kabab is a very popular Kabab and it's so delicious, that you can't stop eating it. The main ingredients are minced (chicken, beef/mutton), spice and flour (gram, corn). Chapli Kabab can be eaten as a lunch or dinner with Raita and salad. It is a very healthy dish, because it is made up of mince, which contains a lot of protein. Chapli Kabab can be deep fried or shallow fried. In this recipe, I used deep frying methods, because it makes the Kabab more crunchy. I also used some dry fruits to make Chapli Kabab tastier and healthier. However, you can skip this, if you don't like dry fruits. So, let's move to the recipe....
