FAQS
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.
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.
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.
