Indian kebabs have a rich history dating back to the Mughal era, where they were introduced by the Mughal emperors. These succulent, flavorful skewered meats were originally cooked in open fires or tandoors, and have since become a beloved part of Indian cuisine. Renowned chefs like Imtiaz Qureshi and Munir Ahmed have elevated kebab-making to an art form, with their signature recipes and techniques. Regions like Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Delhi are famous for their unique kebab variations, such as the iconic Lucknawi Galouti Kebab and the spicy Hyderabadi Boti Kebab. Today, the best kebabs can be savored at legendary eateries like Karim's in Delhi or at upscale restaurants like Dum Pukht in Hyderabad. The key to perfecting Indian kebabs lies in the marination process, using a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, and cooking them to tender perfection. Whether it's the classic Tandoori Chicken or the melt-in-your-mouth Seekh Kebabs, these dishes continue to entice food enthusiasts worldwide.
