Re: SilverFalcon and CB’s Kitchen Experiments ..

CB, you were mentioning the grilled/middle eastern platter in some other thread. Did you post the recipe there? If not, can you please post it here. Thank you in advance:hug:

Also, do you have any authentic recipe for chappali kebab? I have one, but I want to compare and contrast:)

Re: SilverFalcon and CB’s Kitchen Experiments ..

Thanks CB.

I will report here later. But the omelette, am I supposed to add that after marinating the mixture for 2-3 hours?Yanni once I take it out of the fridge?Or when I am mixing all the ingredients? Common sense says that later..lakin I am waiting for your verdict.

Aimee · April 10, 2009, 5:52pm

Hi Silver

yeah you have to mix it in later …

I hope it turns out nice … please ensure that the mixture is dry , otherwise you might have issues with kababs remaining intact .. toot jatay hein when the mixture is loose ..

also , I sometimes add imli in the kabab mix and it totally rocks .. just a little imli soaked in water , then drain the water as much as you can and mix the fibre into the kabab mix…

Re: SilverFalcon and CB’s Kitchen Experiments ..

I don’t have corn meal:( Any alternative?

RupayHalwa · April 10, 2009, 7:09pm

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL

Have u got any pix of the platter?

Aimee · April 10, 2009, 7:26pm

ummm I had a feeling this was going to be the issue …

Frankly , I tried putting roasted gramflour (baisan) but the taste wasnt the same … then i tried it without cornmeal and the kabab’s didnt stick properly !
I even used bread crumbs and again it affected the taste ..

I dunno what else can be used instead of cornmeal… why dont you just use a bit of beisan , just roast two tablespoons of baisan and use it for now … what say?

Aimee · April 10, 2009, 7:35pm

Rupay , inshallah next time i will take some pics ... :@:

S08 · April 10, 2009, 7:49pm

Re: SilverFalcon and CB’s Kitchen Experiments ..

Re: SilverFalcon and CB’s Kitchen Experiments ..

Hi Silver ,just a quick note to let you know that I hvnt forgotten the chum chum experiment .. just that i have been really caught up with work , inshallah will try it asap and write back … ( it needs pressure cooker and I dont have one , so i will first have to go and buy one , which will be done in the next few days )

I will be proud owner of a pressure cooker

Silver_Falcon_Of_Kashmir · April 14, 2009, 3:51pm

Re: SilverFalcon and CB’s Kitchen Experiments ..

Thank you for the tips CB. But as it happens, they came a bit late, I had already made the kebabs and consumed them:d Everyone loved the food. unfortunately, I forgot to take pics of all that nice food:(

I didn’t use any besan or cornmeal etc, still my kebabs 'stuck’properly. In fact, I never use these things, and they still stick. So I don’t know what happens with yours.

Your recipe of seekh kebab is exactly the same as mine!
