Bun Kabab
Bun Kabab
Bun Kabab is a very popular Street food in the Indo-Pak region, infact some people may consider it as the King of Street Foods in Pakistan. It is a very simple yet flavourful sandwich which can be eaten both as a main-course or a snack. I would call Bun Kabab, a Desi Sandwich which usually includes a patty of lentils or meat or mashed potatoes. The key ingredient here is the sauce or the chutney which combines the bun and the pattie together to give you a burst of flavours in your mouth. you also get some of the sauce/chutney in a plate so that you can dip the Bun Kabab and enjoy it even more. The sauce/chutney is a bit spicy which gives an extra kick to this snack. This traditional Street Food is available at nearly every main street corner. You will find a guy in his mobile food cart selling these delicious sandwiches all day long and people just standing near his cart and eating it fresh,Usually people try to make this snack at home but always complain that it doesn't have the same flavour that you would get from the food cart. Undoubtedly you can't match that flavour, and I have put together a simple recipe which will try to take you back to the Desi Bun Kabab experience.
