Shan Shami Kabab Recipe and Seasoning Mix 1.76 oz (50g) - Spice Powder for Traditional Meat & Lentil Patties - Suitable for Vegetarians - Airtight Bag in a Box

I have always loved shami kabab but ever since I moved away from family I couldn't have them anymore. After about three years of craving them I finally found this Shan masala and I'm happy to report that the kababs I made from this turned out to be exactly the same as those made in Pakistan. I used chicken since I don't like cleaning beef but the shami kababs still tasted great. The only downside is that the masala is really very spicy so have to be careful not to add the whole box.

A friend of mine had shared some food me with me that his wife had prepared. It was absolutely delicious. I pulled up Amazon on my phone and he showed me what to buy. I got it yesterday. It is absolutely delicious. Try this product. It’s great.

better than expected!

Finished my last batch from 6 years ago & decided to order a pack from Amazon for convenience. It was obvious the manufacturer added &/or changed a couple of ingredients because there were bigger pieces of some filler & stayed dry after grilling the batch. My family had to spit those bits out.

Exactly what I wanted. Quick delivery and good product.

Top quality as always

I read a random review about Shan somewhere, decided to see if our Amazon carries it. True to their word as the biggest Indian e-commerce site, they had this rare masala. I ordered this along with five other Shan products. I am elated at how good the kababs have turned out. This was exactly like one amazing Shami Kabab i had at a muslim friend's home. Spectacular. This masala brings out a deep flavor from the meat and the lentils, that cannot be described. It only has to be tried. I deep-fried the kababs since I was unable to get the grinding consistency right (too fine) but then, it was still amazing! Deep flavor, rich taste of spices and kabab, not too hot, but perfect accompaniment for everything from Rotis to Sambar rice. I urge you to just blindly buy this and try it as instructed on the package. If you have loved Shami Kabab and wish to make it yourself, this is THE BEST way to do so. Check the picture out! - Yes, i know that there are a few lentils intact :( Grinding didn't go to plan. But next time it'll be perfection. Point to note : To make 1 kg of meat for Shami, you need to use the entire packet.

Hard to fathom the packet instructions for a nice meaty shami. Figuring out how much & weather to fully soak the lentils & also the quantity of water to add is very vague.
