Mutton Shaami recipe/ Hyderabadi kacche gosht k shami kebab/ Raw mutton kebabs recipe

Hyderabadi Kachche Gosht ke Shamiyan are melt-in-the-mouth kebabs made with raw minced meat (usually mutton), and a blend of aromatic spices. Unlike regular shami kebabs that use cooked meat, this traditional Hyderabadi version uses raw (kachcha) meat mixed with spices and gram flour. The mixture is then finely ground, shaped into patties, and shallow-fried to golden perfection. Rich, flavorful, and delicately spiced, these kebabs are a royal treat, often served with mint chutney and onions at festive gatherings or special meals.

These shami kebabs share a brotherhood with sheekh kebabs but are milder compared to them and can be made on tawa.

Serve them with Hyderabadi khatti dal, rice and paratha alongside onion salad with squeezed lemon for a full course meal.
