Suta Kebab

Also known as Sutli Kebab this cherished delicacy features succulent minced meat and its been named ‘suta’ kebab since the meat is wrapped around a skewer and delicately encased with thread (or sutli). The kebabs are first marinated with a blend of unique spices, following which they are grilled till they acquire their distinct smoky flavour and tender texture.

Usually, the thread is removed before serving, so the kebabs can reveal their juicy filling which has a savoury goodness and a spiced profile. Pair it with a crisp paratha or a smokey tawa roti.
