What is Seekh Kabab Masala?
5-Minute Homemade Seekh Kabab Masala has become a must-have in my kitchen. I was trying to recreate the amazing Seekh Kababs I had on Burns Road in Karachi—seriously, nothing I bought from the store came close.
Every spice combination I tried was either painfully bland or just plain weird—one even made my kababs taste like potpourri. After months of trial and error (and more kitchen failures than I'd like to admit), I finally nailed it. I bought the Burns Road Seekh Kabab taste from Karachi to my kitchen.
This Homemade Seekh Kabab Masala actually delivers! All it takes is a quick dry roast of some whole spices, a spin in the spice grinder, a mix of powdered stuff—and boom. You're officially in kabab heaven.
At last, this Pakistani spice blend came together, allowing me to perfect my Beef Seekh Kabab and Chicken Seekh Kabab recipes.
What is Seekh Kabab?
Beef Seekh Kababs or Chicken Seekh Kababs are long skewers of minced meat blended with spices, onions, and fresh herbs. This Pakistani appetizer recipe is a popular barbecue dish enjoyed throughout Pakistan and is often regarded as a favorite appetizer.
They taste great wrapped in paratha, naan, or chapati, making them a convenient option for your kids' lunch as well.
