Instructions
 

Prepare the Kabab Mixture

  • Gently mix the hung curd, almond paste, chopped pistachios, ginger, coriander, green chilies, garam masala, cardamom powder, kewra water, black salt, salt, and chaat masala in a bowl. Ensure everything is well combined.

Shape the Kababs

  • Make small balls (approximately 30g each) from the mixture. Gently flatten each ball in your palm.

Coat and Chill

  • Lightly roll each flattened kabab in semolina. Arrange them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Cook the Kababs

  • Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the kababs in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. For an authentic "dum" effect (optional): Once the kababs are slightly browned, add 1-2 tbsp of water to the pan, cover, and cook for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve

  • Serve the hot Dum Ke Kababs immediately. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired. Enjoy with mint chutney or pineapple chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Dum Ke Kababs

  • For the best results, use good quality hung curd (Greek yogurt) for a creamy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan while frying the kababs; fry them in batches to ensure even browning.
  • The optional "dum" step adds a unique depth of flavor and moisture. You can use a small lid that fits snugly for best results.
