Chapli kabab is a traditional dish originating from the Pashtun cuisine of Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the regions bordering Afghanistan. The name "chapli" is derived from the Pashto word "chaprikh," which means "flat," reflecting the kabab's distinctive flattened shape. The history of chapli kabab is deeply intertwined with the cultural and culinary traditions of the Pashtun people. It is believed that the dish was developed as a way to utilize available ingredients, making use of ground meat mixed with a variety of spices and herbs.
