A shami kabab at Avadh Foods starts as soya and a Lucknowi spice mix. It is shaped by hand, laid into hot ghee on the tawa, and flipped once. Both sides take a dark crust. Fresh coriander goes on at the end, with green chutney and onion rings beside it.
This is the vegetarian kabab people order when they want the Lucknow plate without meat. One piece is ₹55. A plate is ₹110. The same kabab is rolled into the veg kabab roll and sits at the centre of the kabab paratha.
How it is cooked
The mix is seasoned before it ever sees the pan. On the tawa it is not moved around. One flip is enough for a crust on both sides, which is what keeps a shami from drying out. It leaves the kitchen with chutney, not with a heavy gravy. If you want gravy and bread, order the paratha plate.
