Traditionally, Shami Kebabs are made with ground meat and legumes, but in this Keto version, I replaced the lentils with a combination of almond and 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 savour these Shami Kebabs. They are perfect for a quick meal or as a delightful appetizer for your guests. Enjoy the taste and texture of these kebabs without compromising your Keto lifestyle.
