Many people make it with beef, but in smaller areas like the one where I live, people like to make it with chicken. If I talk about myself, I love to taste it with the combination of chicken and lentils.

So these are some of the ingredients that we need to prepare this food, now I will tell you how to cook this street food. Below is the procedure.

• First we need minced meat, which is the most important ingredient for this dish, then we have to mix this minced meat with lentils.

• Now we have to add hot spices like garam masala, black pepper etc.

• Now we have to add garlic, onion, ginger paste for good taste in the combination of minced meat and lentil.

• Now we have to shape all the complete paste into round shape of tikki.

What is its selling price in Steem?

---

Actually the selling price depends on its size, in our area there are two types of this Shami tiki, one is the small type Tiki and the other is the large type. The price of the small variety of this Shami Tiki is Rs.20 which is equal to 0.33 STEEM and on the other hand the price of the large variety of Shami Tiki is 40 Rupees which is equal to 0.67 STEEM.

If I talk about the price of this Shami tiki in major areas of Pakistan like Lahore, the price is even higher, because once I tasted it in Lahore and it cost 80 rupees which is equal to 1.2 STEEM. The size of this tiki was even bigger and I think it was a extra large size of this tiki, which I have never seen before. So this is the price of this tiki nowadays.

What makes it famous?

---

There are many things that make it famous but the main thing is that the taste is fantastic. I am a big fan of its taste. One who eats this shami tikki once and wants to eat it again and again because the minced meat mixed with different pulses and ingredients makes it very tasty and mouth watering for everyone. Another good thing about it is that it suitable well with every dish like with rice and some other things, this also makes it popular.
