Shami Kabab

INGREDIENTS

3 cups, Water
1 lb, Minced Chicken
1/2 cup, rinsed dried Split Chickpeas 
1 medium Onion, chopped
1 stick, Cinnamon
1, Black Cardamom
1/2 tbsp, grated Garlic
1/2 tbsp, grated Ginger
1/2 tsp, Kashmiri Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp, ground Turmeric

1/2 cup, fresh Coriander
1/2 cup, fresh Mint
4 Thai Green Chillis
1/2 tsp, Cumin Seeds
1 Large Egg
Juice of 1 Lime
Salt to Taste
Canola Oil for frying

To Garnish

Thinly sliced Red Onion
Wedges of Lime

METHOD

Place Water, Chicken, Chickpeas, Onion, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Ginger, Garlic, Chilli Powder, and Turmeric in a pot with 1 tsp of Salt. Bring to a simmer, and cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove lid, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until all the moisture has evaporated, and the chicken begins to gently cling to the bottom of the pot. Set aside and allow to cool completely.

In a food processor, pulse together Coriander Mint, Chillis, and Cumin. Then add the cooled Chicken/Chickpea Mixture, along with the Lime Juice, Egg and Salt to taste. Process until smooth.

Divide mixture into little balls, and shape into 1.5-2 inch patties.

Heat 3-4 tbsp of Canola Oil in a large frying pan. Add Patties to pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes a side, or until crispy and brown. Drain on paper towel.

Serve alongside crispy thin slices of Red Onion, and squirts of fresh Lime Juice. Enjoy! :)
