Shikampuri Kebab is a wonderful appetizer cum side dish that enhances your dinner experience and make you crave more. Shikampuri Kebab can be made with meat, poultry or even with vegetables. The most important technique that makes Shikampuri different from Shammi Kebab is it’s stuffing. Yes, the Shikampuri kebab is stuffed with malai and hung curd and is more moist and melt in mouth as compared to shammi kebab which is a little more fibrous. An ideal party snack option, or even a great starter to your brunch party. Shikampuri Kebab is a must in my home, specially during Ramadan.
