kabab
Meat on stick
Kabab is the transliteration preferred in South Asian and Middle Eastern contexts for skewered or grilled meat dishes—what Americans usually spell kebab.
The spelling reflects closer fidelity to Arabic, Persian, and Urdu pronunciation.
Kababs encompass countless regional variations: seekh kabab (minced meat on skewers), shami kabab (pan-fried patties), chapli kabab (spiced ground meat).
We ordered chicken kabab with naan.
