The meat used for this kebab is usually chicken marinated with cream and white pepper. Caramelized onions can be used to make the 'resham' of silky threads on the pieces of meat.

Kalmi Kebab: Easy to eat and tastes like amazing, Kalmi kebabs are legendary in India. They are made from chicken leg pieces. The marinade is almost similar to chicken tikka with curd and red chilli, but the style of roasting is different.

Galouti Kebab: This is a type of kebab that is Awadhi or Lucknowi in origin. The Nawabs of Lucknow loved kebabs but when they grew old they could not tear the meat with their toothless mouths.
