Shan Shami Kabab Masala

Shan Shami Kabab Masala is a ready-blended spice mix used to season shami kababs, the soft, savoury patties made from minced meat and chana dal. It saves you measuring out a dozen separate spices. You add it to your cooked mince and lentil mixture, shape the patties and shallow fry them.

How to Use Shami Kabab Masala

Shami kabab masala goes into the mixture after the meat and dal have been cooked and ground. The usual method is to simmer mince with chana dal, onion, ginger and garlic until soft and dry. Grind it to a coarse paste, then mix in the masala. Follow the directions on the pack for how much to use.

Most cooks also add chopped coriander, green chilli and a little egg to bind the mixture. Shape it into small round patties and fry them in a shallow pan until golden on both sides.

One tip helps most: make sure the cooked mixture is dry before you grind it. Extra liquid is the main reason shami kababs crumble in the pan. Chilling the shaped patties for 20 to 30 minutes also helps them hold together.

Ways to Serve Shami Kababs

Shami kababs are served in many ways, from a simple starter to a full meal. Here are some popular ones:

  • Bun kabab, with a fried patty in a soft bun with onion, chutney and sliced tomato
  • Kabab rolls, wrapped in a warm paratha or roti with mint chutney
  • As a starter with raita and a squeeze of lemon
  • Alongside biryani or pulao, or as part of an iftar spread
  • Tucked into naan with salad and sliced onions

Choosing Mince for Shami Kabab

Shami kababs are made with several kinds of mince, so you can pick what suits your household. Beef, lamb, mutton and chicken mince are all used. Mince with a little fat gives softer, juicier patties. Very lean mince can turn out drier, so a splash of oil in the pan helps.

Shami Kabab Masala FAQ

Why do my shami kababs fall apart?

Shami kababs usually fall apart because the mixture is too wet or has not been bound. Cook off all the liquid before grinding, add an egg, and chill the patties before frying.

Can I make shami kababs ahead and freeze them?

Yes, you can shape the patties and freeze them before cooking. Place them on a tray until firm, then move them to a freezer bag. Fry them when you need them.

Do I need to add anything else to the masala?

Yes, the masala seasons the mixture but does not replace the meat, dal or binder. You still need mince, chana dal and usually onion, egg and fresh herbs.

Add Shan Shami Kabab Masala to your basket ready for your next batch of homemade shami kababs.

You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.
