Any connoisseur of Mughlai food must have savoured the succulent kebabs, which come in wide varieties, shapes and tastes. But in general, all kebabs are simply sumptuous. Though the word kebab may be of Persian in origin, but its taste has influenced the lovers of good food the world over. However, kebabs are not only an integral part of the Mughlai dishes from India. They have their presence in Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Central Asian, and even African cuisines.
Even people in many European countries enjoy this wonderful meat dish, whose taste has withstood the test of time. Kebabs in general constitute grilled or broiled meats of goat, chicken, lamb, and bovine creatures, etc. In the Muslim and Jewish world, the intake of pork is prohibited by religion, but pork kebabs are not that uncommon in Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, and the United Kingdom. Even in Goa, pork kebabs are being enjoyed.
Misty History
The history of kebab, like many other world-class delicacies, is wrapped in the foils of mystery. According to the Arabic tradition, kebab is believed to be invented in medieval Iran, where soldiers used to grill meat on their swords, by holding them over field fires. However, this claim is disputed by many who state that kebab was originated in the East Mediterranean region, during ancient times, a region which includes the modern nation-states of Greece, Lebanon, Syria, Jordon, Cyprus, Israel, the territories of the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
