Chapli Kebabs with Anardana and Chilli Mango Kachumber


Oven time 50-55 min

Chapli kebabs are rooted in Afghanistan and are traditionally made with beef but you can use lamb if you prefer. The name comes from the fact they are flat and come out looking like a flip flop or ‘chapal’. They have a wonderful tang to them from the anardana and tomatoes used in the mix. We love these with a colourful mango kachumber.
