The seekh kebab (Pashto and Urdu: سیخ کباب, Hindi: सीख कबाब) is a type of kebab, originating in South Asia. It is made with spiced, minced or ground meat, usually goat, lamb or chicken, and in Pakistan and Afghanistan, sometimes made with beef, formed into cylinders on skewers and grilled.[1][2] It is typically cooked on a mangal or barbecue, or in a tandoor.
Description
Seekh kebabs are soft and succulent, seasoned with various spices such as ginger, garlic, green chilli pepper, powdered chilli and garam masala, as well as lemon juice, cilantro and mint leaves.[3] Sometimes extra fats are added to further enhance the flavor.[3] Seekh kebabs are typically served with raita, salad, onion slices, lemon wedges or green chutney and eaten with naan or paratha.
Popular seekh kebabs are the tunde ke kabab, kakori kebab and gilafi seekh kebab. Vegetarian seekh kebabs in India are made with beans, carrots, potatoes, cauliflowers and green peas.
