Tunday Kebab (Lucknowi Dish)
Tunday Kebab is an iconic Lucknowi delicacy renowned for its incredibly soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich blend of aromatic spices. Traditionally made with finely minced mutton and slow-cooked to perfection, this royal Awadhi kebab is best enjoyed with Sheermal, Roomali Roti, or paratha.
Cooking Method
- In a large bowl, combine the minced mutton, raw papaya paste, ginger-garlic paste, spice mix, salt, and chopped coriander.
- Mix thoroughly and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum tenderness.
- Shape the mixture into small, round, flat patties.
- Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or tawa over medium heat.
- Cook the kebabs for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove from the pan and let them rest for a minute before serving.
- Serve hot with Sheermal, Roomali Roti, mint chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges.
