Seekh Kebab (سیخ کباب)
Spiced ground lamb molded onto skewers and charcoal-grilled until smoky with crisp edges and a juicy interior.
Why It Works
Using fatty lamb and minimal binding (no egg or breadcrumbs) keeps the kebab tender; the fat renders over charcoal, basting the kebab and creating flare-ups that add smokiness.
