Shikampuri Kebab

Minced mutton and chana dal ground to a fine paste, shaped into flat rounds with a pocket stuffed with a filling of curd, chopped onion, mint, and green chilli, then shallow-fried in ghee — the shikampuri is the most refined of the Hyderabadi kebab tradition, its outer shell impossibly smooth and its interior a burst of cool, tangy curd.
