Monsoon has arrived and most probably you are looking forward to treating yourself with some of your favourite kebabs. Before you treat yourself, what if I tell you that one of your favourite starters or meals has a varied and interesting history in the books of Indian cuisine. The Indian Kebabs are a reflection of the country\u2019s  cultural heritage and culinary customs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India, the love for kebabs is something you will come across on the streets of Old Delhi, Hyderabad, Bihar, Lucknow and more. As per history, India is not the birthplace of Kebabs but it has evolved into diverse varieties over the course of time. With its beginnings as chewy chunks of meat in Rajputana, Kebabs have come a long way to evolve as soft and juicy treats enjoyed in the Mughal palace kitchens.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 13th century, kebabs first made their way to the royal kitchens. At that time, they were tough and chewy. Later, in the 16th century, this tough and chewy kebabs changed owing to the demands of Nawab Asa-ud-Daula, who was a toothless king and wanted a very gentle variant. This is when Galouti Kebabs were created. A tender and flavorful kebab that dissolves is your mouth. It is said that Mohammad Fakr-e-Alam Saheb, the royal cook, utilized nearly 150 different varieties of herbs in the preparation of this dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapli Kebabs, now available in most of the eateries, are believed to have been created in the late 19th century during the British Raj. According to records, this meal was created for British soldiers who were stationed in the area that is now known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and would have used easily accessible local ingredients. Interestingly, the Pashto words chapli and chaprikh, that means flat and patty-like, are considered to be the inspiration for the name Chapli Kebabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you heard about Bihari Kebabs? It is a very famous Kebab from Patna to Pakistan. Reports claim that a Nawab of Murshidabad who frequently visited Bihar could not find soul food there. In one of his visits, he was insatiably hungry and ordered the cooks to produce a dish that fused the royal cuisine of Murshidabad with a desi Bihari twist. This led to the creation of Bihari Kebabs. The Bihari Kebab is known for its signature flavour profile of mustard oil, raw spices, and earthly scent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Seekh Kebabs are originally from Turkey and were known as Shish Kebabs. They were brought to America by the Turks. It is believed that the Turkish soldiers who sought refuge in the forest during the conflict supplied meat for these kebabs through hunting. Seekh Kebab were typically prepared with ground mutton, chicken, chickpea flour, cashew paste, cream and other seasonings. These kebabs are now available in vegetarian forms too and are very famous in India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
