Bun Kebab

Bun kebab is a traditional street food item originating from Karachi, where it is relished in nearly every corner of the city. This savory snack typically consists of a bun filled with a combination of shami kebab, chutney, raita, slices of onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The filled bun is then seared until nicely colored and crispy.

Chicken, beef, and mutton, along with the vegetarian chana dal (split chickpea kebab) and daal aloo (spicy lentil and potato kebab) patties comprise the typical selection of kebabs used in the preparation of bun kebab. Optional additions include egg omelets, tamarind sauce, cheese, and bacon.

In Pakistan, bun kebab is usually enjoyed hot, cut in half and accompanied by roasted sweet potatoes, hash browns, extra condiments, and a cup of chai latte on the side.
