⏳ Reading Time: 6 minutes

Galouti Kabab is more than a meal; it serves as a culinary emblem of royal opulence. Originating from the lavish kitchens of Lucknow, these kababs were specifically made for kings due to their extraordinary softness. Even today, this dish is revered and especially enjoyed at family gatherings. If lovingly prepared with the perfect balance of spices and texture, it truly lives up to its iconic status.

Softness, coupled with a rich, layered flavor, makes a galouti perfect. With Shahi Riwayat’s expertly blended galouti kabab masala, home chefs can prepare such royal delicacies effortlessly, making it now incredibly easy and gratifying for novice cooks.

Why Galouti Kabab Stands Out

Among all the dishes spawned from the Mughal empire, galouti kabab is singled out for its unparalleled tenderness and fragrant characteristics. It is distinctive because of the particular spice blend. Also, traditionally made with minced mutton, the recipe is quite versatile and can be made using chicken or even plant-based alternatives and still maintain its signature taste.

Galouti kababs are a culinary delight that never ceases to astonish diners, be it served as the centerpiece of a casual family meal or an appetizer during festive gatherings.

Easy steps to make delicious Lucknowi Galouti Kebab

  •  Grind all the ingredients in a grinder for 5-6 minutes until extremely smooth paste.
  • Add in Shahi Riwayat Lucknowi Galouti Kebab Masala and massage the meat mixture for 5-10 minutes, mixing everything well. Allow it to rest for 30-45 minutes.
  •  Heat ghee in a pan, make tikkis of the meat mixture and pan fry on medium heat until cooked and brown.
  •  Super Delicious Galouti Kebabs are ready to be served.

Tip: Serve along with mint chutney and paratha.

A Lighter Take – Chicken Galouti

For those who prefer a leaner option, chicken galouti is a great alternative with flavor just like the original dish.

Ingredients:

  • Minced chicken 500g
  • 1 tbsp galouti kabab masala
  • 2 tbsp fried onion paste
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp roasted gram flour
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp cream (optional, for added richness and softness)

Follow the previously listed steps, but be mindful that frying time should be shorter as chicken cooks quicker, and remains tender with less heat.

Pair It Right

Here are a few ways to serve your galouti kabab that elevate it to a full meal:

  • Using roomali roti or ulte tawe ka paratha as a traditional accompaniment
  • Chutney coated galouti kabab sliders that are served in soft buttery buns for a fusion spin
  • Offering boondi raita on the side to balance out the richness of kababs served on a saffron rice bed
  • Smoked tomato or anardana dips served alongside galouti kababs make for zesty party starters
  • As is often done, onion lachha, lemon wedges, or coriander can be added as classic garnishes that enhance taste and presentation.
