The English word kebab comes from the Persian (kabāb) according to Sevan Nişanyan, an etymologist of the Turkish language, the word kebab is derived from the Persian word “kabab” meaning “fry”. The practice of cooking meat on a stick or skewer originates in prehistorical times, probably as long back as a million years ago. The traditional meat for kebab is commonly thought to been mutton (Goat), but depending on local tastes and religious prohibitions, other meats may have include Beef, Chicken, Fish, or, more rarely, Pork. Ancient Hindu texts, such as Mahabharata, mention dishes made of marinated game meats roasted on large, open fires.

The common method for cooking Kebabs in India is usually the Tandoor, a traditional clay oven heated by charcoal thought to have originated from Punjab.

Another Kadai Kebab on the menu was the SeekhNilofaricomprising ofLotus stem and cottage cheese flavored with mace powder, black pepper and fried till golden brown.
