Chapli kebab or chapli kabab (Pashto: چپلي کباب)[α] is a Pashtun-style minced kebab, usually made from ground beef, mutton or chicken with various spices in the shape of a patty. The chapli kabab originates from Peshawar in Pakistan.[1][6][3] The Peshawari chapli kabab is made with beef and is a popular street food throughout South Asia, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Bangladesh.[5][7]

In India, chapli kabab can be found as street food in the cities of Bhopal, Lucknow, Delhi and Hyderabad, where Muslims have a denser population.[8]

Chapli kababs are broadly consumed in Dhaka, Bangladesh, most popularly during the time of Eid-ul Azha and in Ramadan as part of iftar.[7][9]

Chapli kababs can be served and eaten hot with naan or as a bun kebab.[5]
