We need more Pakistani cuisine representation worldwide. Since indian and Pakistani cuisine resembles so much because of same historical background, whatever changes the Pakistani cuisine has seen in past 76 years post partition needs to explored more on a global level. Because its so rich and each dish is a burst of flavors with a story of its own. Go chef fatima❤️
@@name_dropper8112 they see Mexicans as brown people too, so what? we are brown and we never forget our indian roots, we just changed in last 70 years and everything related to that changed as well
'shami kebabs are made in every household in pakistan' can confirm as a pakistani is true, when i went shami kebabs were made in a lot of households when we visited relatives
You know what's more delicious, instead of the bun and the egg, add this shami kebabs to the biryani. You'll be cooking the entire day however it will be worth it during dinner time.
I love her, shes honest and authentic, no bs, and a great rep for Pakistani cuisine. Should definitely make a series out if this. Bun kebabs are such a street food staple, very filling💗
@@HASHO745 That's the truth, kid, whether you like it or not. When people say "Pakistan" anything, they're talking about the Punjab province, because it tries to dominate over every other province. And Punjabi food is pretty much the same on either side of the border, regardless of the partition.
@@NostalgiaforInfinity There is some difference. Less emphasis on meat on the Indian side. Also difference in amount of spices and amount of oil or ghee. But then, there are also differences within Punjab itself, where Lahori food is generally considered to be on the heavier side.
Last time I was in need for a good biryani recipes and i came across with Fatmas recipes! And I loved it! I copied her steps and because it turned soooo good I forwarded to many friends. I come from an Afghan family and trust me, we know how to make rice. I love this chef! I love how she explains! Hope to see her many many many many more times in the future ❤ and Inschaa allah I will try also this recipes ❤
Fatima always makes me want to get up and cook exactly what she’s making no matter time i see her videos. I absolutely love anda shami - this is a perfect recipe
Bun kebab is something I desperately missed after moving to Canada. For me, it was a cheap, hot, fresh and yummy street snack,,,to end your shopping trip with your mom....to grab a quick bite during lunch break at office....to enjoy it with friends while on budget as students...a late night eat-in-car snack on a long drive...to pack for picnics with family...the first platter to disappear on a family get together... it was not just food...it was countless memories...
I usually make a large batch, place them on a sheet tray, lined with baking paper making sure the kababs aren’t touching each other, cover with foil and freeze them. Once they are frozen, I transfer them to a food safe bag. I don’t defrost the kababs before cooking them. Just heat up some oil at medium heat, dip the kababs in beaten egg and fry until done.
Fatima Khawaja, from NY city, living now in DC USA, where have you been all my life, I would've learn it all from you, when ever advice was needed from someone, abot 30 years ago, yar. Now Im a great cook myself, leaned it the hard way, practice and practice. I like your recepie, my mom made it little differently though. I ve left Lahore in 1980's. I miss it.😆😆😆😆😆
It’s so good to see another video from Chef Fatima. I forwarded the biryani one to so many friends haha and now this one! Can’t wait to try it out! I am not from a Pakistani background but love a shami kebab haha! You’re the best! ❤
So glad to see Fatima back! And wow i've been fed shami kebabs just like this all my childhood but I didn't actually realise thats how they were made...nice
I love it! Thank you for bringing Fatima back. I really like her style and cooking skills. Here recipes look amazing. Bun kebabs are one of my favourite things to eat. Soo good!!
Love this! As someone who is from Pakistan this is Amazing. I would add just one thing tho.. Do season your omelet.. with just salt and laal mirch (Red Chilli Powder)
Damn that looks so good😭. I really miss when I used to live in Karachi, could get a double meat, anda burger for like 50 ruppees, but that was ages ago. Ik it must be crazy expensive now.
I'm from Karachi ..like the bun kebab version we have is like huge lol like there are some bun kebabs which only got peti and chatni and raw onion and they are osm and then there are ways of making anddy wala burger which you made it but we put alot of more things so it's kinda craze the flavours like complete different on every next place but you made osm chef
for someone who did not grow up in the US, her English is so good. I'm jealous (German here who has been learning English for 10 years and still does not feel confident)
A lot of Pakistanis, especially upper middle class and elites, are bilingual or trilingual, even growing up inside Pakistan (Urdu, English and Punjabi speaking, for example). I am half German, half Pakistani btw! Tschuess!
English is one of Pakistan's official languages, and anyone who's had basic education in Pakistan can speak & understand English! Especially in urban Pakistan, where Fatima's from.
As a Pakistani I can confirm the bun kebab is made everywhere!! I am from Lahore as well but never heard anyone calling it “kutta” burger!! 😂 It’s just called bun kebab or shami burger.
I remember the street food version of these from Pakistan. My ex’s family were more chappli kebab fans. I think I’ll give these a go but with like 80% less oil than the street food version. It’s weird to hear you talk about the high heat. I cook everything on pretty high heat and my current partner always mentions it. The flavours don’t come out fully unless the oil heats up enough.
So true about the high heat! I have never seen a Pakistani cook use low or medium flame. More is always better, amirite? Same thing using high beam lights on a car, which is super common in Pakistan, oncoming traffic be damned. Only a few years into my experience with cooking did I learn about the marvel of flame adjustment :)
Wait that's my recipe! I've been making and eating shami kababs this way for my whole life. That's such a good recipe for meal prep and is my go to breakfast with bread and Ketchup or a desi ghee pratha. It's a super quick breakfast. I always make them in bulk to freeze and eat later as a snack with chai or with pulao as a side or many other things. It's really good and this recipe is really good too! You can actually make 70 80 kababz and easily freeze them for 2 months. Love this series. P.s I'm from Lahore too✨️
You just made me feel like a half Pakistani lol. I've just realised I've not had any for a very long time, the cost of living overseas. Mum used to make them in large batches and freeze them, ready to be eaten at anytime.
I grew up in Lucknow, India. Bun Kababs were fairly popular back then but the version I was used to was a much more stripped down version - shami kabab, onion, bun, maybe chutney - that's it. It was delicious. In fact, just thinking about it is making my mouth water.
we actually add raw whole dried red pepper instead of chilli powder and garam masala powder instead of cinnamon stick and whole spice in ours. Also large cut pieces of peeled onions and raw /peeled ginger cubes and garlic cloves and of course salt.
i love when the shaami kabab is fried IN the egg so it just becomes one messy body, the shaami and the anda. some street vendors even go a step further and fry the buns in the egg too, which gives it a nice little glaze. personally, i always order DOUBLE shaami, i just love that ratio

Call it what you want. You can't deny the Indian part of your culture. All the Westerners will always see us as Brown peopl.

@@name_dropper8112 true
Indian cuisine is much more diverse.
You guys dont even know what a Dosa is
Most of it is common to ours though it's made slightly differently. Maybe pashto, hazara, balochi dishes..
'shami kebabs are made in every household in pakistan' can confirm as a pakistani is true, when i went shami kebabs were made in a lot of households when we visited relatives
God Bless
I live in Ohio. Will try to find a restaurant here that makes these. Will ask them where to get the materials. Yum
Saturdays are my cheatdays so let's make....
Shami kabab is actually from lakhnow/delhi area.
Pakis talk everytime as if they are from some distant place from india.
Identity crisis
Love it. Peshwari style are my favourite. 🤤
Chef Fatima! Loved her Pakistani Biriyani recipe. Great that Epicurious brought her back.

@@humoursabji4045 Bro wtf is this incel comment.
Thank you Epicurious for allowing the lovely and charismatic Chef Fatima to give representation to the very unappreciated Pakistani cuisine! ❤️💜💚
Thank you Fatima a great ambassador for your culture and food xxx
This series is becoming my fave. As an Indian from Punjab, a lot of what the chef says resonates
Because Pakistani food is just Punjabi food.
@@NostalgiaforInfinity are u dumb

Hmmm, but I feel that bun kebab is not that famous across India though.
@@NostalgiaforInfinity There is some difference. Less emphasis on meat on the Indian side. Also difference in amount of spices and amount of oil or ghee. But then, there are also differences within Punjab itself, where Lahori food is generally considered to be on the heavier side.

I like the idea of cooking down the meat and processing it into patties, seems like a good way to make a few weeks of food in a batch
Most Pakistani families actually do that. Just freeze the shami patty and fry one whenever you're in the mood.
Yes! I can take this to work everyday!
I usually make a large batch, place them on a sheet tray, lined with baking paper making sure the kababs aren’t touching each other, cover with foil and freeze them. Once they are frozen, I transfer them to a food safe bag.
I don’t defrost the kababs before cooking them. Just heat up some oil at medium heat, dip the kababs in beaten egg and fry until done.
@@zky10 lol, why?
Every home in Pakistan make them in huge quantity and froze it. And use it for months.
Chef Fatima is so much on point with the recipes, just the way we make it at home.
Chef Fatima is so soft-spoken I can hear her all day ngl

Love that Pakistan food is finally getting recognition.
Loved it fatima as a Pakistani I know how delicious these bun Kababs are please try this recipe she explained it perfectly.
One question have you ever tried persian food
@@theguyver4934 no I think so not but please tell me one easy one
I love it! Thank you for bringing Fatima back. I really like her style and cooking skills. Here recipes look amazing. Bun kebabs are one of my favourite things to eat. Soo good!!
3:15 that was very relatable for me. My mother taught me to always ask for free coriander/cilantro and chilli. We use to call FREE KA DHANIYA MIRCH.
Same its free in Punjab and Sindh Pakistan especially in summers
All desis are same at the end of the day 😂
These are amazing for entertaining. Bun kabobs are one of my favorite foods and I'm so happy to see Fatima nail it once again! 😊
she is perfect for representing her culture
love pakistani street food..pakistani cuisine is easily my fav cuisine. love their karahis and kababs and also Fatimah explained it elegantly
The ingredients and way it’s been made means I know I’d love it! Really looks delicious 😋
This looks AMAZING! I definitely want to try them at least once in my life!
Love Chef Fatima! I just visited Karschi last week and had Bun Kebabs they are such a great meal/snack!!🙌🙌
Epicurious learned the lesson since the freekeh episode. Fatime is one of the best additions to the channel.
Thanks for uploading this just before Ramadan ❤️
Love this!
As someone who is from Pakistan this is Amazing.
I would add just one thing tho.. Do season your omelet.. with just salt and laal mirch (Red Chilli Powder)
Love how you explain each step with authenticity. Please do some more videos on our Pakistani cuisine
"You don't have to be precious about it." Sage advice.
Ugh that looks SO good, I need one.
"Unda shami sandwich"😂 thats the most burger thing I've ever heard (only pakistanis will get this)
IKR! 😂
But it's because here in the US they call something like zinger burger a chicken sandwich
lol paindu west mai burger ko sandwich bhi boltay hain
@@ayeshabilal5149 dumbo zınger burger ıtself comes from KFC not from some Pakıstani desi cuisine

Glad to see Fatima back. I loved and tried her biryani recipe (it didn't turn out as nice as hers did! Very tasty though)
It looks yummy 😋 I bet it smells amazing!
Chef Fatima is great, I want a full series on Pakistani food presented by her
Omg so happy to see some Pakistani street food representation!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
For a Mexican, Amy Santiago sure knows her Pakistani food
Who would've known?!
Lovely Pakistani cuisine is just super delicious and so flavourful omg my mouth is watering already..♥️😅
Have you ever tried persian food
@@theguyver4934 Yes absolutely Persian food is also part of our cuisine as Pakistan and Iran are neighbours and we have mixed cuisines over here.
@@Happy_Potato0 Yes but did you ever try it and liked it
@@Happy_Potato0 - Hello your reply
Thanku for representing our food , My mother makes shami kababs and freeze them so incase if there is any guest we can serve them ❤ our go to snack
I love this chef - more videos PLS!
Cher fatima is great . thanks for bringing her back . We need more Pakistani reepies please in English.
Does chef Fatma have her own channel she’s amazing.
Damn that looks so good😭. I really miss when I used to live in Karachi, could get a double meat, anda burger for like 50 ruppees, but that was ages ago. Ik it must be crazy expensive now.
Bun kabab is now 150 daal one. Shami is 170 and anda special is 200😉
It costs less than a dollars
Was looking forward to the imli chutney, thought you’d show how to make it from scratch, oh well :/ thanks for this anyway, definitely gonna try it!
I have never made Bun Kebab at home. I would love to try this out.
Thank you ma’am for introducing us to this lovely Pakistani food. Cheers from Singapore.💐
Love the recipe and the Pakistani food representation 🇵🇰
It's more popularly known as anda shami burger, at least in my area!
Is there a written recipe..

Wow! What a coincidence! Just having home-made bun kababs with ketchup, mustard sauce and jalapeños, which elevate it to the next level! 😋

I need chef Fatima more on this channel.

In karachi street vendors also add coleslaw in it but you made quite similar welldone 👍
Finally PAKISTANI 🇵🇰
Does Chef Fatima have her own channel or other social media? If not, why not?
Great to see her again. I love her comments and occasional jokes.
How do I access the recipe/quantities? I couldn't find it on the epicurious site either.. only a link to the video and transcript. Thanks
She is back!!! OMFG! YAAAAAAS
So authentic and very well explained
Finally a chef from Pakistan ❤❤❤
Finally an easy shami kebab recipe! What is the ground chicken to water ratio?
She's brilliant!
Yummy ❤! Thank you Chrf 👏🏽
She's becoming my favorite ❤️
Lovely u see a Pakistani ❤️❤️❤️❤️
we love Pakistani food and Fatima.
You just made me feel like a half Pakistani lol. I've just realised I've not had any for a very long time, the cost of living overseas.
Mum used to make them in large batches and freeze them, ready to be eaten at anytime.
I live in Lahore and our mother makes Bun Kebab's once a week and it's my favourite cheat meal 😋.
I LOVE THE REPRESENTATION! 🇵🇰🇵🇰❤️
What a top chef. That looks so delicious
Do you guys eat Bum Kababs in India? This is a Karachi street food, so why you Indians are claiming this to be yours?
For a moment i thought she is Samiya Mumtaz from the Pakistani series SANG- E- MA
A lot of folks add raita.... the essential the traditional the sensational yoghurt dip...
This egg burger aka andai wala burger is quite tasty and it's really cheap like you can buy this burger for 0.10 usd in karachi, Pakistan.
Amazing video thumbs up Chef Fatima
better than anything at mcdonald’s and 1/3 the price
Shes becoming my fav chef 😭
That looks amazing
Thank you for supporting Pakistan 🇵🇰
