Bun Kebab is a Pakistani Street food which consists of shallow fried patties, onions tomato, cabbage and chutney sandwiched in a bun. There are different kinds of patties used here such as the shammi kabab which is made with meat and also the patties made with potatoes or lentils,
Here I am going to introduce you with Bun Kabab using the Shammi kabab as the patty. Shammi kabab is made with boneless meat, lentils and spices cooked well and then are ground which are then shaped into patties and shallow fried.
The green chutney makes the bun kabab more flavorful and delicious. This green chutney can also be used a dip for various bhajis, cutlets or whateveryou like. its Super yummy. Here the kabab is dipped in egg and shallow fried or u can also keep a kabab wrapped in an omelette as well.
The original Bun kabab uses only the green chutney which is smeared on the both sides of the bun, but I prefer smearing mayonnaise on one side of the bun. I was introduced to these bun kababs by one of my neighbours. At first sight I felt it as a normal burger like any other homemade burger but when I had it, the flavors were exploding in my mouth. It was scrumptious.
