Eid-ul-Fitr Special Galouti Kebabs Recipe

Galouti kebabs are a popular Indian dish that originated in the city of Lucknow. These kebabs are made with finely minced meat, typically lamb or beef, that is marinated in a blend of spices and then cooked on a skewer over an open flame. The meat is so tender that it practically melts in your mouth, hence the name “galouti,” which means “melt in your mouth” in Urdu.

The secret to making the perfect galouti kebab lies in the spice blend, which typically includes a mix of aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, as well as ginger, garlic, and onion. The meat is then mixed with raw papaya, which acts as a natural meat tenderizer, and shaped into small patties before being cooked.
