Chicken Chapli Kebab Recipe – Authentic Peshawari Street Style

If you’re craving crispy, juicy kebabs bursting with flavor, this Chicken Chapli Kebab recipe is perfect for you. Originating from Peshawar, Pakistan, chapli kebabs are known for their thin, flat shape, aromatic spices, and crunchy texture. Traditionally made with beef or mutton, this version uses chicken for a lighter but equally delicious taste. Serve them with naan, chutney, or as a burger patty – they never fail to impress!

🥘 Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Kebabs)

  • 500g ground chicken (with a little fat for best texture)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes (remove pulp, finely diced)
  • 2–3 green chilies, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp cornmeal (makki ka atta) or gram flour (for binding)
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes (adjust to spice level)
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 egg (for binding)
  • Oil or ghee for shallow frying

🔪 Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture

    • In a bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, tomatoes, chilies, coriander, mint, and spices.
    • Add cornmeal and egg for binding, mix gently until combined.

  2. Shape the kebabs

    • Take small portions of the mixture, flatten them into thin round patties.
    • Press gently so they don’t break while frying.

  3. Fry the kebabs

    • Heat oil or ghee in a skillet over medium flame.
    • Shallow fry chapli kebabs until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

  4. Serve hot

    • Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
    • Serve immediately with naan and chutney.

🌟 Tips for Perfect Chicken Chapli Kebabs

  • Use slightly fatty chicken mince for juicy kebabs.
  • Don’t skip tomatoes – they give chapli kebabs their signature tangy flavor.
  • Fry on medium heat to keep them crisp outside and tender inside.
  • If the mixture is too soft, add more gram flour or cornmeal for firmness.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with naan, paratha, or pita bread.
  • Add green chutney, raita, or tamarind sauce for extra flavor.
  • Use as a burger patty with lettuce, onions, and yogurt sauce.
  • Pair with biryani or pulao for a complete meal.
