Pakistani Chapli Burger recipe disclaimer: Burger Month is hosted by Girl Carnivore, but all opinions and burger recipe deliciousness are, of course, my own.
Hurray! Pakistani Chapli Burger is my recipe of the day with Burger Month. This is my third and last burger for the event. For this burger I wanted to make something out on the grill fashioned after a Pakistani chapli kebab, which is a beef patty chock full of aromatic Asian spices.
I had one of these yum burgers recently when our usual Indian restaurant was closed and we needed to improvise. A new Pakistani restaurant down the street had opened that we’d never tried, and they were offering curbside service.
Although their kebab was not served on bread, we did have some nan bread on the side. I adored the grilled tomato that went with it and all the spicing. I knew right then and there that although I thought I was going to make a different burger for Burger Month, I needed to waltz back to the form and update it to my newest burger love.
Burger loves may come and go, but the newest burger romance will always rule.
Pakistani Chapli Burger
If you recall, I’ve made a Middle Eastern type burger before that looks similar to this because of the bread, but they really do taste a bit different. The kotlet kubideh burger is very mild and Persian tasting. This one has a bit of curry flavor and is spicy as well. But you can leave out the chilies if you want to tame it.
On a side note, I’d have given you an affiliate link to buy the bread but I noticed they are price gouging and didn’t feel like being complicit with that. But the bread looks like this. Expect to pay around 3.99 a pack, and not 20.99 like some third party thief is selling them for on Amazon. I left them a nastygram in their reviews. Amazon needs to kick them off. j/s
