    WHAT IS CHICKEN SEEKH KABAB?

    The Pakistani-Style Chicken Seekh Kabab (Chicken Skewers) stands as a captivating testament to Pakistani culinary expertise and a delectable addition to Pakistani appetizers. Enriched with an exquisite assortment of seasonings and spices, this dish undergoes a meticulous smoking ritual followed by an overnight marinade. Whether shallow-fried to perfection or masterfully grilled on a barbecue, these kababs boast a nuanced spiciness. Originating from the esteemed culinary traditions of North India and Pakistan, they beautifully encapsulate a fusion of flavors and a shared heritage of Pakistani recipes.

    FAQS

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEEKH KABAB AND CHAPLI KABAB?

    Distinguished by their unique homemade Seekh Kabab Masala, Seekh Kabab and Chapli Kabab stand apart with their individualized flavor profiles. While Seekh Kababs boast an elongated, log-like form, Chapli Kababs take on an oval shape, each offering a distinct taste experience that sets them distinctly apart from each other.

    How can we prevent Seekh Kabab from falling off the skewers?

    Incorporating rice flour into the blend of ground chicken serves the purpose of preparing it for skewering. As the ground chicken is carefully threaded onto skewers, it's recommended to shape it into uniformly thin layers. This approach ensures stability during frying or grilling; in cases where the layer becomes too thick or heavy, the risk of it succumbing to its own weight and falling off the skewer is mitigated.

    What is the binding agent in Seekh Kababs?

    Rice flour assumes the role of a binding agent within Seekh Kababs, imparting its characteristics of being both tasteless and devoid of any discernible aroma.
