SHAMI KABAB GHOTALA 

(A quick n simple dish for Bachelors n You as well)

WHAT IS SHAMI KABAB

We must learn what is a Shami Kabab before something about our Ghotala (Mixture) Shami Kabab is a small patty of meat more often of minced Beef, mixed with herbs and different spices along with Yellow Bengal Gram.

It is the very popular cuisine of Pakistan & India and used as a snack mostly. There are different versions of making Shami Kababs but main ingredients are same. As per legend, its origin belongs to Lukhnow when a Chef of a Toothless Nawab prepared this for his Master. The name Shami seems to be given because it was eaten as an evening snack. Another version says that the Word Shami is derived from the country Sham (Syria) as it is called in Urdu. During Mughal era in sub-continent, many people from the Middle East migrated to India for employment with Mughals and someone brought this dish to their Kitchen who belonged to Sham (Syria)
