Lamb | Seekh Kebab

About This Dish

Seekh Kebab is a popular lamb kebab, where minced lamb is mixed with aromatic spices and herbs, then shaped onto skewers and grilled. The kebabs are charred on the outside, while the inside remains moist and flavorful. The marination process helps the spices penetrate the meat, making each bite rich in flavor. Typically served with naan, salad, or mint chutney, Seekh Kebabs offer a delightful combination of smokiness, spices, and tender meat.

History & Tradition

Seekh Kebab has roots in Central Asia and was introduced to India through Persian and Turkish influences. The name “Seekh” refers to the skewers used to cook the meat, and the kebabs were traditionally prepared in a tandoor. Over time, Indian variations developed, and Seekh Kebabs became a staple in both street food and fine dining. They are particularly famous in North India.

What Makes It Special

What makes Seekh Kebab special is the blend of minced lamb and spices that gives it a succulent texture and rich flavor. The slow grilling process ensures the kebabs are perfectly charred on the outside, while the spices and herbs ensure the meat remains juicy and tender on the inside. The tenderness and smokiness make it a unique experience for those who enjoy a well-seasoned, grilled kebab.

A legacy in simmer and silence – Yakhni Pulao for National Heritage Day!

On National Heritage Day, we honour the traditions that have shaped our kitchens and stirred our souls. Among them is Yakhni Pulao—a whisper of Kashmir, steeped in history and scent. In homes cradled by the snow-covered valleys, this dish was never rushed. The magic began with yakhni—a delicate broth brewed patiently with fennel, cloves, and cardamom—infusing the air with a warmth that defied the chill outside.

At BKC London, we don’t just serve Yakhni Pulao—we bring you into the story of how it’s made. Every weekend this April, watch tradition unfold as the broth is slow-simmered, meat softened to perfection, and saffron-layered rice sealed gently in a handi. The pot is left to rest, letting time and care do their quiet work. Come experience the poetry of patience, the aroma of history, and the soulful beauty of Kashmiri cuisine—one fragrant spoonful at a time.

Yakhni Pulao – A poetic offering from the valleys of Kashmir!

In the snow-laced stillness of Kashmir, where the chill clings to cypress trees and the air hums with the warmth of saffron, Yakhni Pulao was born. Not loud, not fiery—this is a that pulao whispers. Rooted in Kashmiri tradition, it is made with a soul-soothing broth, or yakhni, slow-simmered with fennel, cloves, and cardamom until the flavours melt into silk.

At BKC London, Executive Chef Arsh and Sous Chef Amit pay tribute to this legacy. Tender cuts of meat are simmered low and slow, then nestled into saffron-kissed rice and sealed in traditional handis. What emerges is not just a dish, but an emotion—gentle, aromatic, and utterly transportive.

Come try it this weekend—crafted with care, served with soul!

Yakhni Pulao – A poetic offering from the Valleys of Kashmir!

In the snow-kissed silence of Kashmir, where time moves slowly and the air is heavy with the scent of saffron, Yakhni Pulao was born. Unlike its spicier cousins from the south, this biryani speaks softly—crafted not with heat, but with harmony. Its origins lie in the ancient kitchens of Kashmiri households, where slow-simmered yakhni stock—fragrant with fennel, cloves, and cardamom—was the soul of every meal.

At BKC London, we honour this meditative preparation with delicate cuts of meat steeped in broth, layered gently with saffron-infused rice, and sealed to perfection in traditional handis. The result? A rice preparation that doesn’t shout, but lingers—graceful, elegant, and quietly unforgettable.

Mango season is here – Let the Aamasutra begin!

There’s nothing quite like mango season — the golden glow of ripe fruit, the first slice through its soft flesh, the sweet juice running down your fingers. It’s a ritual, a celebration, a craving that lives in our senses. At BKC, we honour that memory with our Mango Lassi — made with the freshest mangoes, infused with hints of cardamom, topped with pistachio and delicate rose petals. It’s the season, in a glass.

To end your meal on a note of indulgence, our Baked Mango Yogurt delivers the same sun-drenched sweetness — slow-baked, creamy, and layered with love. Whether it’s your first sip or your last spoonful, BKC is your mango haven this season — from start to finish.
