If you are searching for a spicy yet butter-soft mutton kebab recipe, the secret lies in the ultra-fine mince of goat meat blended with kidney fat and a potent natural tenderizer like raw papaya. Many food connoisseurs cherish this homemade Lucknowi kebab for its complex "secret" blend of over 150 spices, including stone flower (pathar ka phool) and sandalwood.
