Galouti Kabab- Lucknowi Kabab
Galouti Kabab- Lucknowi Kabab
Galouti Kababs also popularly known as Lucknowi Kababs are a famous for its melt in the mouth texture. These Kababs have a long history and have been prepared since the era of the Nawabs in India. These Kababs are very aromatic and include a number of spices in the ingredients list. I have added a mild smoky flavour to these kababs which enhances the taste of these delicious delicacies. Marination/resting of the Kabab is very important as this will allow time for the flavours to infuse in the minced meat. You may also use Beef or Lamb to make these Kababs but I prefer using Chicken as it takes less time for marination and the melt in the mouth results are easily achievable. This recipe is quite simple and will definitely be a crowd pleaser. The texture and taste of the Galouti Kabab is much different to the Shami Kababs although it does look very similar to the Shami Kababs.Do give this recipe a try if you're looking for a different Kabab flavour!
