Seekh Kebab
Minced Beef Skewers
Yes, keto as served. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Pakistani dishes.
What it is
Spiced minced beef, typically mixed with finely chopped onions, herbs, and aromatic spices, shaped onto skewers and grilled over charcoal. Naturally low in carbs and high in fat and protein. Served without naan or rice.
Key ingredients
Ground beef, onions (small amount for flavor), ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, fresh coriander, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, cooking oil/ghee (for brushing).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no binders like flour or breadcrumbs are used (rare in authentic Pakistani Seekh Kebab, but good to confirm). Ask to omit any side sauces that might contain sugar, or request plain raita (yogurt dip) without sugar.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in marinades (less common for Seekh, but possible), starchy binders (unlikely but confirm), sugary side sauces, excessive onion.
