However, two dishes stand out and take you on a culinary journey – Patthar Ka Kebab and Chapli Ka Kebab.
Patthar Ka Kebab
Patthar Ka Kebab, also known as stone-cooked kebabs, are a delicacy that originated in Pakistan. These succulent kebabs are made by marinating minced meat with aromatic spices and then cooking it on a hot stone. The result is a perfectly charred and juicy kebab that is bursting with flavour. The technique of cooking on a hot stone has been around for centuries and is believed to have been introduced by Mughal emperors.
The Patthar Ka Kebab is prepared using the traditional method of cooking on a hot stone. The chefs expertly marinate the meat with a blend of spices that includes cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and red chilli powder. The marinated meat is then placed on a heated stone and cooked until it is perfectly cooked and has a smoky flavour.
One bite of the Patthar Ka Kebab will take you on a journey through the rich flavours of India. The spices used in the marinade are perfectly balanced, creating a harmony of flavours that will tantalize your taste buds. The smokiness from the hot stone adds depth to the dish, making it an unforgettable culinary experience.
Chapli Kebab
Chapli Kebab, on the other hand, originated in Peshawar, Pakistan. These flat patties are made with minced meat, onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices. The unique aspect of Chapli Kebab is that it is cooked on a flat grill, unlike the traditional skewer method used for most kebabs. The name 'Chapli' comes from the Pashto word for flat, as the kebabs have a flat shape.
The chefs at the Ashok Hotel use high-quality meat and a secret blend of spices to create these delectable kebabs. The result is a perfectly charred and juicy kebab that is packed with flavour. The addition of saffron and rose petals adds a touch of elegance to this rustic dish, making it a must-try for any food lover.
Both Patthar Ka Kebab and Chapli Kebab may seem like simple dishes, but the techniques used to cook them and the selection of ingredients make them stand out. These dishes are not just about the flavours; they are about the experience. The hot stone and flat grill cooking methods add a unique element to the dish, making it an interactive experience for diners.
Apart from the cooking methods, what sets these dishes apart is the quality of the ingredients used. From the meat to the spices, every element is carefully selected to ensure that guests have an unforgettable dining experience.
So, make sure to try these dishes and take your taste buds on a delightful journey.
