Traditionally, Keto Shami Kebab is made with ground meat and legumes, but in this Keto version, I replaced it with lentils a combination of almond or coconut flour.
This substitution not only keeps the dish low in carbs but also adds a nutty and flavorful element to the kebabs.
Shami kabab or shaami kabab is a local variety of kebab, originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is a popular dish in modern-day Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi cuisines. It is composed of a small patty of minced meat, generally beef, but occasionally lamb or mutton (a chicken version exists as well), with ground chickpeas, egg to hold it together, and spices — Wikipedia.
Prepare yourself for a delectable culinary experience as you savor this Keto Shami Kebab. They are perfect for a quick meal or as a delightful appetizer for your guests.
Once the mixture is ready, shape it into small round patties or discs, and pan-fry them in ghee or coconut oil until they’re crispy outside while remaining tender and juicy.
Enjoy the taste and texture of these kebabs without compromising your Keto lifestyle.
