Chapli Kebab

Chapli Kebab/Kabab is a traditional spicy dish of Pakistan. It's a favorite dish of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Though chapli kebab are prepared through out the year at the kebab restaurants, however it's considered a dish of winter. There are many kebab restaurants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which are famous for their tasty chapli kebab, however the chapli kebab of Swabi has no match in taste. It's prepared from ground meat, maize flour, onion and tomato together with some spice including coriander seeds, anardana, chili, ginger, garlic and zeera . Knowing about ingredients don't mean that one will prepare kebab as delicious as by the experts at kebab restaurants.Therefore people always prefer to buy kebab from these restaurant instead of preparing at home. Its preparation needs expertise and skills and these skills transfer from race to race.
