Cooking Tips

• To achieve the authentic texture of Kakori kebabs, the meat should be finely minced or ground.
• If you don't have access to raw papaya, you can use meat tenderizer powder as a substitute.
• Soaking the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using them will prevent them from burning during cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Kakori kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the kebabs in a microwave or oven before serving to restore their tenderness and flavors.
• Serve the kebabs as an appetizer with mint chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges, or as a main course with naan or rice.
