ok I just made the mixture of chapli kabab but I will not be making kababs until Thursday.. how do I freeze this mixture without risking the watery texture or soggy kababs when I thaw it on Thursday? Please do remember that it includes raw onions, tomatoes, egg etc!!
I need to know asap 
Re: Urgent help needed...
simply freeze it and on that day defrost it in mircowave befoe frying them and dont forget to post the pics when u fry them lol
Re: Urgent help needed...
I believe the best way to freeze meat/beef is to wrap it in cling wrap and then freeze it in airtight container. Ive done that for parties before and the beef came out fine.
Re: Urgent help needed...
Thanks.. I think it should be okay :-)
Re: Urgent help needed...
I would make the kababs and freeze then freezing that whole thing...
Re: Urgent help needed...
Lusi.. I don't have enough room in the freezer to spread them there :-(
Re: Urgent help needed...
Why did you make the mixture two days in advance? Got emotional? :p
Re: Urgent help needed...
LOL no qeema had been sitting in fridge since Sunday nite so I had no choice but to do it today...well, Thursday is a pizza night so I dun think I will be making kababs until the weekend :$
Re: Urgent help needed...
I would have suggested the same thing as Lusi...
I also usually do not have enough space to freeze them altogether ...so I freeze them in batches...
Not sure if you wanna do that ...
try freezing them as Reha said...Hopefully should be fine...
:)
Re: Urgent help needed...
gem....i usually prepare the mixture with raw onion n all n freeze it. it does get soggy after defrosting so i add cornmeal to it...(i dun add cornmeal initially which normally ppl do) another way is i fry them n freeze
Re: Urgent help needed...
Fry them up and then freeze....I don't think there's any other option.
Lusi.. I don't have enough room in the freezer to spread them there :-(
You don't need much room.. just cut plastic bags according to your plate's shape
Oil the plate a little put a layer of kebabs on it, then your plastic bag piece or cling film, brush it with oil, then kebabs again...
Basically you layer kebabs in one plate but separate them with *oiled *cling film so they don't stick together and are easy to separate when you take them out.
Re: Urgent help needed...
yeah as Masi said ... I usually do the same ...
Re: Urgent help needed...
well I did what Reha said, when I take them out I will do what Afia baji said.. by the way, is corn meal same as corn flour? and how much should I add?
For future purposes, I will do what Masi suggested.. you girls are experts!! Thank you
Re: Urgent help needed...
^^Cornmeal is makai ka atta...
Re: Urgent help needed...
and where do I find it?
Re: Urgent help needed…
GTG , in any store really… I think we can get it even in ASDA ..
Re: Urgent help needed...
oh ok.. as long as it's not only limited to desi stores, I should be able to find it.
Re: Urgent help needed...
are you in the UK GTG ? if you are then let me tell you NATCO do cornmeal .... you might wanna look for it in ASDA and Tesco.... Though i think i bought it from a desi cash and carry .. but NATCO is a huge company ...
Re: Urgent help needed...
nopsey I am in the US.. I will check at local supermarkets :-)
