Re: Urgent help needed...
corn meal and corn flour are the same thing...the only difference is that corn flour is finely ground and cormeal is coarse. Also, cornmeal comes in both yellow and white colors so don't be surprised if you see two types of cornmeal on your local super market shelf. BTW, I think you should use cornmeal for frying kababs or chicken pieces, cornflour is mostly used as a thickening agent in things like sauces and soups.
Re: Urgent help needed...
woww CA you are awesome.. does the color make any difference? Do you know how much should I add in about 2-3Ibs of qeema?
Re: Urgent help needed...
Gtg, that's a tricky question...I never tried freezing raw Chapli kabab mixture...I think u should add small quantity around 1/2 cup first and see how much more you need depending on how liquidity the mixture is...Wese I honestly have no clue, sorry! :o
Re: Urgent help needed...
alrite no problems.. I will learn that soon and let you all know.
Re: Urgent help needed…
so I added teh corn meal after defrosting it.. I fried it and this is what happened..
I ended up making the salan out of it.. where did I go wrong
ps: We ate it with ketchup and it was goooood 
Re: Urgent help needed...
lol why did you add corn meal?
That is better to make the kababs with the mixture and freeze them rather freezing the whole mixture. Also when you have made the kababs, you don't have to defrost, you can just fry the frozen ones. :)
By the way, how did you defrost, did you have had egg in the mixture?
oh and all is well if it tasted good :D
Re: Urgent help needed...
mujhe shakk thaa!!!
Re: Urgent help needed...
sorry about the kababs...!!
next time just shape them and freeze them...this way you will be able to have kababs within minutes(after frying) whenever you want to...:D
Re: Urgent help needed...
Lusi.. Afia baji told me to do so because I prepared the mixture and put that in freezer for a few days and then defrosted in refrigerator overnite.
yep I had teh egg in the mixture.. thats the culprit?
CA.. and here I paraded around the stop and shop looking for the difference between yellow and white corn meal and then bought the yellow one as you suggested :-(
chipsy...next time we have to try shami kabab ;)
Re: Urgent help needed...
Allah shami kababon kee magfirat karay :D
ok just joking lol
Re: Urgent help needed...
Oh mannnnn, sorry about your kebabs GTG!
It still looks very appetizing. :)
Re: Urgent help needed…
I am sorry I can’t help laughing:( I hope you don’t mind.
But the qeema does look appetizing…think of it this way, you created a new dish! Qeema Chappli Kabab Masala! 
Re: Urgent help needed…
Re: Urgent help needed…
GTG , Masi said it , you have just created a new dish … Oh boy i am so making it from now on 
…
I think the onions and tomatoes and the meat , released their water content , which is quite natural after a defrost .. and when that happens , the kebabs never get their shape , they always become masala trying hard not to laugh
Re: Urgent help needed…
quit laughing girls 
yeah I invented a new dish and my husband made me freeze some masala so he could have a qeema wala paratha this weekend..lets see how that goes!!!
Re: Urgent help needed…
ooooo boy , you froze it again 
that means more new dishes
Re: Urgent help needed...
LOL i cooked and then froze it.. it shoudl be different.. haina?
Re: Urgent help needed…
nope … if it comes out slightly watery , then just give it a quick bhunoo in a frying pan just evaporate the water or the moisture in it .. and then make the parathas …
