Seekh Kabab is a highly revered and incredibly popular delicacy across Pakistan, a true staple of the barbecue and street food scene in Sahiwal, Punjab, and throughout the subcontinent. The name "Seekh" refers to the skewers on which they are cooked, symbolizing their unique preparation.

These flavorful kababs are crafted from finely minced meat, most commonly beef or lamb, but also chicken, which is painstakingly mixed with a robust array of finely chopped onions, fresh coriander, green chilies, and a signature blend of ground spices like ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, and garam masala. A crucial element is the fat content in the mince and often the addition of a binding agent like gram flour or finely crushed bread to ensure the kababs hold their shape and remain juicy. The seasoned mince is then expertly molded by hand around long, flat metal skewers into cylindrical shapes.
