WHAT IS BUN KABAB?
The unique and Quick Karachi-Style Bun Kabab offers a delicious blend of flavors. It features a patty made from Chana Dal and potato, coated in a light egg batter, shallow-fried to perfection, and topped with a special Bun Kabab Raita Chutney. Originating in Pakistan, especially popular in the vibrant city of Karachi, this Pakistani appetizer recipe has become a beloved favorite. Making this Pakistani recipe is highly recommended, as its rich flavor instantly transports you to the lively streets of Pakistan, capturing the experience of savoring street food delights.
WHAT GOES IN A BUN KABAB?
Bun Kabab preferences vary—some add omelette, cucumber, ketchup, or coleslaw. My favorite is the classic Karachi street-style version with a lentil and potato patty, Bun Kabab Raita Chutney, onions, and Khaati Meethi Chutney. It stands out, just like my other favorites: Chicken Tikka Samosa, Mutton Chaaps, and Chicken Seekh Kabab.
WHAT IF MY KABAB MIXTURE IS TOO WATERY?
With this recipe, Kababs won’t get running, It’s a fail proof recipe. However, if you’re making Kabab with some other recipes here’s what to do if they become runny add some more rice flour.
WHY AND HOW TO USE EGGS IN BUN KABAB?
Whisking eggs into a foamy mixture helps bind the patty and adds an authentic street-style flair to the bun kabab. Coating the kabab with a thick layer of egg creates a unique texture, adding bulk and enhancing the flavor.
INGREDIENTS
Split Chickpeas (Chana Dal)- Soak the lentils over night that is the key. After pressuring it the lentils shouldn’t loose their shape. Potatoes- I used golden medium-size potatoes. Rice flour- The rice flour is the real binder in this recipe. Whole spices- This will add warmth and subtle spice in your bun kabab. Ginger garlic paste- I have used homemade ginger garlic paste, you can use store-bought if you like. Slider buns- I used white slider buns. Khaati Meethi Chutney- I had Khaati Meethi Chutney in Pakistan, So I used that in this recipe. Bun Kabab Raita Chutney- This chutney is so good, It takes few ingredients that you probably have.
