  • Add shami kabab masala.
  • Next add 2 cups of water. (Or use water as required)
  • Give everything a good mimx.
  • Close the lid and pressure cook on high for 35 mins. Or until the meat is tender.
  • After 35 mins, release the pressure as per instructions.
  • Turn the sauté mode, and cook the mixture until the liquid gets dry.
  • At this point use a wooden spoon, or electric beater to mash all the meat and daal together.
  • Let the mixture cool down completely before adding any greens and egg into it.
  • When the mixture is completely cool, add egg: 2 eggs is mixture is too soft OR 3 eggs if the kabab mixture is hard.
  • Add chopped onions, coriander, green chili and mint (these all are optional).
  • Mix everything until well combined. Taste at this point and adjust the spices according to your taste.
  • You can add more shami kabab masala if you like, I do it sometimes. This gives kababs really good flavor.
  • Make kababs and fry on medium heat and enjoy 😊
