Notes
I have used mince here you can use mutton or beef chunks
adding potato gives super soft shami kababs,a tip given by my friend,you can skip this step.
you can cook this in an open pot for 25 to 30 minutes or till the mince and lentil is cooked.
The boiled ground mixture stays well in the freezer,you can store it in an air tight container in freezer or make kababs and freeze it keeping parchment paper in between ,fry when you need
