Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Chapli Kabab:
In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients listed under "Chapli Kabab." Mix thoroughly until well combined. Let the mixture rest for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
2. Cook the Kababs:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat for shallow frying.
Take a portion of the mince mixture and shape it into round patties.
Place the patties in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
3. Make the Chutney:
Add all the chutney ingredients to a blender and grind them into a smooth paste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
4. Assemble the Burgers:
Lightly toast the burger buns for extra flavor.
Spread a generous layer of chutney on both sides of the buns.
Place a fried chapli kabab on the bun base. Top with a cheese slice, a drizzle of ketchup, lettuce, and onion slices. Add another layer of chutney if desired.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Cover with the top bun, secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve hot. Pair with crispy fries, cold drinks, or your favorite sides for a complete meal.

Don’t Skip Resting: Letting the kabab mixture rest is key for enhanced flavor and easy shaping.
