A succulent kabab curry in which juicy seekh kababs are cooked in a rich tomato-based sauce and finished off with coal smoke for a classic bbq aroma. Seekh Kabab Masala can be enjoyed with naan or your favourite rice.
One of our Eid table must-haves is this Seekh Kabab Masala and in my opinion it is best paired with my version of Easy Kabuli Rice. And in case you are not a rice person, try them with my Pakistani-Style Roghni Naan.
And not only for Eid, this aromatic curry packs a punch and can be served to elevate any meal. Especially that smoke of coal in the end makes this dish so heavenly delicious. Another very delicious ground beef curry is this Aloo Keema!

1 bread? Does this mean one slice?
Coal-does this mean a briquet of charcoal?
Which kind of chilis?
Qashang says
Hi! Yes 1 slice of bread and 1 briquette coal. I used Indian green chilies. You can use any chili that you prefer like Cayenne, Thai Bird's Eye Chili or Serrano pepper.
