About the Sheek Kebab and What They are Made of

These Kebabs were brought by the Turks and were originally known as Shish Kebab. It's no wonder that their name comes from the Turkish words Shish, which means "sword" or "skewer," and Kebab, which means "to roast." According to popular opinion, these kebabs were the product of Turkish soldiers' hunting activities while taking refuge in forests during the war.

Sheek kebab is a type of kebab, made with spiced minced or ground meat, usually lamb, beef, or chicken, formed into cylinders on skewers and grilled. It is typically cooked on a mangal or barbecue, or in a tandoor.

Sheek kebabs are light and succulent, flavoured with ginger, garlic, green chilli pepper, powdered chilli, garam masala, lemon juice, cilantro, and mint leaves, as well as lemon juice, cilantro, and mint leaves. Extra fats are often applied to improve the taste. Seekh kebabs are typically served with raita, salad, onion slices, lemon wedges, or green chutney, and naan or paratha bread.
