How to make Reshmi Kebab

Why cooks start here

Reshmi Kebab is cooked the way barbecue platters cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a pakistani family cook actually puts it on the table.

Reshmi Kebab is a beloved staple on the barbecue platters of Pakistan, where the art of grilling is honed to perfection and the table is always set for sharing. This home version captures the essence of how a Pakistani family cook would prepare it, with a focus on hand-judged salt and generous use of fat, making it a cherished dish for gatherings. Expect a melt-in-your-mouth texture, thanks to the cream and ground almonds that enrich the minced chicken. Each bite is subtly spiced with white pepper, offering a delicate warmth that pairs beautifully with the unmistakable richness of ghee. Enjoy it hot, straight from the grill, where its succulence is best appreciated.
