🇵🇰 Pakistan recipe

Chapli Kebab

Chapli kebabs are the signature dish of Peshawar and the Pashtun culinary tradition, named after the flat sandal ('chappal') they resemble. These broad, thin patties are distinguished by the visible chunks of tomato and pomegranate seeds studded throughout the meat, along with a boldly aromatic spice blend that reflects the cuisine of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. They are traditionally cooked in generous amounts of bone marrow fat for an unmatchable richness.
