You can find Chapli Kebab throughout South Asia. I took inspiration from Pakistan, Afghanistan and India for this recipe and fused it with one of my favorite foods on the planet: BURGERS. The patty is so flavorful on its own but add it to a burger and you’ll feel like you might be in heaven. The tahini sauce is mind blowing too. To guarantee optimal flavor, make sure to use good quality spices for this. Teja Foods is a great brand with potent products and you can find them at local grocery stores/ Indian specialty stores.

This has become a definite staple in my kitchen, I can’t wait until summer so we can try these on the charcoal grill!
