How did I come across this amazing Pakistani dish called Chicken Chapli Kebab? From my friend Tony… He wasn’t really a home cook but his mother was and that is how I got my first taste of this incredible kebab!
Chicken Chapli Kebab is packed with flavor! It is on the spicy side but not that extreme although a pretty fair amount of red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper are added to this recipe. Of course, it always depends on your tolerance to “spicy” and you can always adjust the amounts.
Talking about spice there’s one that is not very popular in Western culture but it should be because besides being an amazing addition in recipes, it also has some great medicinal benefits. It’s called “ajwain”. First let’s start with the culinary aspect of it.
– Ajwain can be purchased as a seed or powder. When it’s whole, it looks similar to fennel, caraway or cumin seeds. It tastes somewhat bitter and has a flavor comparable to oregano and anise and smells similar to thyme.

– From the medicinal aspect of this herb, it has great benefits for stomach disorders. Added to boiled water, it can calm abdominal pain and colic, reduce bloating, flatulence and diarrhea and help with indigestion. This is definitely a naturally healthy ingredient to have around for these situations…
I enjoy this spice and you should definitely get some. If you don’t have an Indian/Pakistani grocery store nearby, ajwain can be purchased online at amazon.com
