Omar Foster's mini chapli kabab sliders recipe

0 ratings

Chef and food writer Omar Foster uses his Pakistan heritage to create his signature fusion cooking style. 'Chapli kababs conjure up such fond memories from childhood. I could – and still can – eat platefuls! Typically, these kababs wouldn’t be eaten as a burger but these feel like a more flavourful version of a classic patty', explains Omar. These mini sliders would make epic summer party food. See method
