It was the early Turks who perfected the technique of marinating meat cubes before grilling them. Kebab literally means ‘Cooked meat’ in Turkish. The Turks flavoured meat and shaping it over skewers, originally their swords.  Kebabs in India are more or less similar to most other kebab preparations along with their distinct taste which can be credited to the spices native to the Indian subcontinent. All the varieties such as Sheekh, Doner (known as Shawarma), Shammi Tikka, and other forms of roasted and grilled meats are savoured in South Asia.

The BIRYANI has come a long way from Persia to India. Its origin can be traced far back to the time when the Persian rulers travelled with their cooks, and the cooks who were exposed to limited tools and equipments devised means to cook rice along with mutton. They were forced to do this, as they could not carry too many vessels along with them, and had to cook on wood, as fuel was scarce. This wood imparted smoky flavour to the dish. All these flavours combined, created a wonderful dish that has become so popular today all over the world.
