Flat spiced minced-meat patties from Peshawar

Chapli kebabs come from Peshawar in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region and are a hallmark of Pashtun cuisine. The name refers to their flat shape.

The minced meat is spiced with coriander seed, pomegranate seeds and tomato and fried flat in fat – crisp at the edges, juicy in the middle.
