Unique Kebabs of India
The kababs originated in Middle Eastern countries. In the 14th century when the Mughals from these countries invaded India and made it their home, they brought with them Rekabdar & Bawarchis (personal chefs of kings), and the specialized equipment – ‘tandoor’ to India. The Kabab then was just meat sprinkled with salt and then barbecued. Shortly after, it caught the fancy of Indian chefs and in no time they began perfecting it into a sublime art. The kind which you can savor at The Great Kabab Factory.
For almost two centuries when the Mughals ruled over India, these Rekabdar and Bawarchis created various types of kebabs to please their masters. One such kabab is Galouti Kabab which is also a signature dish of The Great Kabab Factory. It is said that Galouti Kabab was invented by one of the chefs for his aging king – Nawab Wajid Ali Shah who lost his teeth but not his passion for meat dishes. Galouti means “melt in your mouth” i.e., melt-in-mouth kebabs, and was perfect for the toothless Nawab. Many such legendary kebabs will be served at The Great Kabab Factory like Tandoori Chicken, Seekh Kabab, etc.
By preparation, there are various kinds of kebabs, like, Tikkas are boneless preparations cooked in the tandoor; Shami Kababs are deep-fried patties; Seekh Kababs are skewered meat/vegetables; Bharwan Kebabs are stuffed kebabs, for example – potatoes stuffed with cottage cheese and so on. Similarly, various vegetarian kebabs are available in India like vegetarian Galouti Kabab, Tandoori Pineapple, and many more.
Kababs in India have distinct taste profiles and are entirely different from Arabic kebabs like Shawarma and Shish Taouk. This can be credited to the spices native to the Indian subcontinent’ like, some of the best peppers and saffron are grown in India and hence have a predominant influence on Indian kebabs.
