Akhroti Seekh Kebab
Seekh kabab is a popular North Indian dish made with minced meat and a variety of spices. The name "seekh" comes from the skewers used to cook the kababs. The meat mixture is traditionally hand-pressed onto the skewers, giving them their characteristic shape. The kababs are then grilled over hot charcoal and served with chutney, naan, and salad. Its spicy, smoky flavour makes it a favourite among meat lovers, and its easy preparation makes it a popular dish for home cooks.
