WHAT IS GOLA KABAB?

Circular beef kababs, known as Gola Kababs, have a rich traditional lineage. Nonetheless, I've innovated by crafting this recipe with chicken, significantly reducing the cooking duration while preserving their delectable essence.

The process of creating these kababs demands only minimal exertion, culminating in a rapid and gratifying assembly.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOLA KABABS AND SEEKH KABABS

Gola Kababs and Seekh Kababs entail distinct ingredient compositions. While Gola Kababs incorporate fried onions and a markedly diverse blend of spices, Seekh Kababs follow a separate masala amalgamation. Visually, Gola Kababs adopt a compact, spherical form, whereas Seekh Kababs extend lengthwise in their characteristic shape.

WHAT IS THE BINDING AGENT IN GOLA KABABS?

The Rice flour serves as the binding agent, seamlessly integrating without affecting the flavor profile. Being devoid of taste, it remains unobtrusive, allowing the authentic essence of the Gola Kababs to prevail without any overpowering influence.

INGREDIENT WE NEED

• Chicken- As previously mentioned, you can readily replace the chicken with beef or lamb.
• Rice Flour- The rice flour acts as the binding agent in this exceptional recipe.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH GOLA KABABS?

Gola Kababs are typically accompanied by a side of Green chutney or Green chutney Raita along with Kachumber.

TIPS

1. Incorporate either raw papaya or raw papaya paste, as it functions as a natural meat tenderizer.
2. Allow for an overnight marination period to enhance the flavors..
3. Consistently cook by frying over a moderate-low heat on the stovetop.
4. Smoke it, Make sure to trap the smoke in the bowl for 3-4 minutes.
5. When smoking the Gola Kabab don't use more than one piece of charcoal.

HOW TO STORE GOLA KABAB?

Place them in an airtight container prior to freezing. Whether you choose to mold them or keep them unshaped is at your discretion before freezing, as Gola Kababs showcase qualities conducive to freezer storage, boasting an expected duration of 2-3 months in the freezer. In the refrigerator, you can either maintain their form or opt to store them without reshaping. Furthermore, you have the option to fry the Gola Kababs, followed by storage in an hermetically sealed container. Retaining their peak flavor, Gola Kababs sustain their freshness for about 3-4 days.
