📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Seekh kebab is a charcoal-grilled dish in which a meat mixture is wrapped around a seekh, or skewer, and it's loved across South Asia, including Pakistan. Ground beef or lamb is worked with garlic, ginger, and garam masala, mixed with cilantro, and kneaded smooth. The savoriness of the meat infused with charcoal smoke layers with the complex aroma of spices.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a family dinner after Ramadan, seekh kebabs arrive in a wisp of charcoal smoke and everyone shares them.
