There are a lot of people in Karachi who are fond of burgers. It all started with the name of bun kabab but now everyone calls it just burger. Since last 2 decades, a lot of well known and new brands of burgers are introduced all over Pakistan but they are very expensive. Specifically in Karachi, people do enjoy local burger points in their respective areas. It is easily available and is reasonable to buy and enjoy the tasty burgers.
There are various popular burger points all over Karachi. Each town and sector do have their own popular burger point. Almost every one of them have the same way of preparing these burgers but the taste vary due to the use of material in preparing these burgers. Local burger aka bun kabab is very famous meal and is loved by Karachiites of all ages.
The main thing which increases the taste of burger is Shami kabab. I hope everyone knows what Shami Kabab is, well it is a patty used in burger. It is made up of lentils and beef along with some spices and herbs. So, all the burger points prepare these shami kababs in their own way, most of them are home made and that’s how the taste vary of each burger shop.
I am going to share how these burgers are prepared through one of the burger point in my town. There are different burger points in my area but I will be sharing pictures from the one from where we used to buy and enjoy its burger.
Not everyone use this round bun (bread), some use round while some of them use long buns. Long buns are mostly called bun kababs.
Bun is cut into half and then middle part is filled with sauce (spicy chutney). Shami Kabab gets full treatment before it also gets between the bun.
Then there are some vegetables and spices to be added however, these are optional and a person who doesn’t want anyone of these can ask not to add.
Onions, cucumber, tomatoes and coleslaw gets added and some other spices along with ketchup on the top.
Omelet is the final item to be added and then its covered with other part of the bun to get some heat in the oil.
Ande wala burger means burger with Egg, the most common type of burger, is ready to have a bite.
We just love these burgers. My Father used to make same type of burgers at home in the same way. These burgers are pocket friendly and a very nice and reasonable meal to have for lunch or dinner or just in some craving situations. I hope you enjoyed this burger :P do share if you make one at home. Cheers!!
