How shami kebab can made

Kebab recipe can be made from different materials but Shami kebab can be made from mutton, beef lamb and chicken. But I don’t like to prepare them from chicken because the real taste of shami kebabs only comes from mutton and beef.

Almost shami kebabs are made from mince but I prefer meat (boti) therefore we will make them with small pieces of meat.
