Tips & Secrets
- Using a small amount of roasted khoya is the secret to achieving that silkiness and richness.
- The combination of mace, cardamom, and rose petals provides the signature royal floral aroma of authentic Kakori.
- High-heat rapid cooking is crucial; low heat will dry out the delicate meat and ruin the melt-in-the-mouth texture.
- The meat to fat ratio should be around 80:20 to ensure the kebabs remain moist and don't break on the skewers.
