BBQ BIHARI QEEMA

BBQ BIHARI QEEMA

Bihari Qeema if one of the favorite spicy dishes of Karachi, there are some specialized outlets who serve it at evening and people throng there to enjoy this delicious mince dish.
Originally it was made of Beef Mince but it is also available in Chicken mince. Bihari Masala is famous for its unique taste in Pakistan and India, attributed to the Chefs of Bihar State. 

The most famous among all the Bihari Masala dishes is Bihari Kabab which is made up of thin layers of meat, put on skewers and then cooked on coals after marinating the meat for hours in unique Bihari Masala. 

Let us prepare our Bihari Qeema with the name of ALLAH.

HOW WE MAKE OUR BIHARI QEEMA:

• Grind together Gol Mirch, Sabut Dhaniya, Sabut Zeera, Hari and Bari Ilaichi, Pipli, and Kabab Chini and make a fine powder.
• Grind Bhune Kabuli Chaney and make a fine powder
• Finely cut the Hari Mirch
• Fry Onions and then grind them
• In a large bowl mix the above ingredients with Qeema along with all remaining ingredients except piece of Coal and mix them 
• Make a dent in the bottom of the mixture and place a small steel bowl or Silver Foil and put a burning piece of Coal on it, sprinkle some drops of oil over the Coal and put a lid over the bowl immediately.
• The Coal will emit smoke which will give our Qeema the BBQ flavor.
• Put the bowl in Fridge for 6-8 hours
• After marination time heat oil in a Wok and put the Qeema mixture in it after removing the Coal.
• Turn the flame on low and cover the Wok
• let it simmer and cook till all the liquid evaporates and the oil comes over the Qeema.
• All the time while the Qeema is being cooked, don't ever stir it, let it cook by itself.
• When the Qeema has dried and oil looks shimmering, stir it thoroughly and douse the flame.
• Our Bihari Qeema is ready to be served now.
• Garnish with Onion Rings, Julienne cut Ginger and Lemon.
• Serve with Paratha and Dahi Podina Chutney or Raita of your choice.
• Recipe of Dahi Podina Chutney can be seen in this blog.

Note:

         When giving BBQ flavor to any dish always place the burning Coal in the raw mixture before cooking, it will give flavor to the entire mixture while being put in the fridge for marination.

Hope you like this BBQ Bihari Qeema and will try it at home without any FEAR OF FAILURE.
