Traditionally chapli kebab is made from beef and fried in beef fat. As I don’t eat beef, I make this with lamb and fry it in ghee. The good news is that you don’t need a lot of ghee for this dish since lamb renders its own fat. The result is a juicy, tasty dish that you can eat with a side salad, with pita or Naan, in a wrap or just on its own. @sarchakra
