Notes
Tips to prepare the best mutton Shami kabab:
- 1.You may Refrigerate the ground dough in the fridge so that it binds better for frying.
- 2.You may also Dip the patties in the whisked egg so that it binds better and does not crack or fall apart during frying.
- 3.Cook the mutton till it is tender so that it gets a crunchy texture when fried later.
- Tender meat is when the water content from it has evaporated to give you a brownish colour.
- 4. Cook the minced mutton over allow heat for 20 mins stirring continuously, otherwise the meat would brown quickly and stick to the bottom of the pan.
