Topic: The Elusive Shami Kebab

[Stephen Lindsay]

I would tend towards making the kebab in patty/burger shapes rather than sausage shapes.

Yes, with you there as well, Stephen : reshmi are shami-shaped, not sheik-shaped !

Finding the correct words as ever Phil!  ;D

Spoke to Ali (Shanaz) last night and he says the effect is created while gently trickling the egg over the shami whilst it cooks in the pan, flip and repeat until desired effect is reached. Though they choose to simply wrap a shami in a thin omelette.

Mmm, i'm liking the look of that Rob.  Do post the recipe.  I have just the tool to produce an egg nest to wrap the shami in

Look forward to seeing your gadget CH. I am typing up the recipe now. It was fun reading this thread again. Where has the time gone? Chef Din has a video on the pate style Shami, but with beef. Worth a watch. Interesting how he feels we are unlikely to have come across one done this way in a BIR. Pretty much all I can remember from my Manchester days. The spicing for my Shami is somewhat different though.  Demographics again I suppose.

On Shami/Reshmi kebabs found the menu of an early TA I remember. They are still going in the same place.  May have been taken over several times by now, but perhaps still the same Pakistani family running it.  Like many they have branched out and do pizza, SFC, burgers etc., but parts of the menu remind me of times gone by, with several high quality Northern touches.

In the Appetisers section you will see both Shami and Reshmi kebabs (the latter with egg).  Reds onions on the menu too, as are chips with red salt.

Off topic but merit worthy.

Special offers. The Monster kebab. The biggest kebab in Stockport.

Kids menu.  Korma and chips.

House specialities/Chef's recommendation. Extensive balti and karahi selection. Cherry picks of popular Bangladeshi dishes.  A notable Mr Naga section. So not the usual chef's description. For example, Chef's special Naga spices. It's Mr Naga himself!  I like this.

More cherry picking.  On the Desserts menu there are Banana fritters/Pineapple fritters. Brilliant idea!
