Galouti

Galouti is a type of Kebab originating from South Asia, particularly in the Indian subcontinent. It is a popular dish in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisine, and is often served as an appetizer or main course. The name "Galouti" is derived from the Persian word "kalaw露ti", meaning "mild" or "subtle", which refers to the dish's delicate flavor and texture.

Galouti Kebabs are typically made from minced lamb or beef, which is mixed with a combination of spices, herbs, and other ingredients such as onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. The mixture is then spread onto skewers or patties and grilled over charcoal or in a tandoor oven, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic dish.

One of the unique characteristics of Galouti Kebabs is their soft and spongy texture, which is achieved by adding breadcrumbs or cornmeal to the meat mixture. This texture is often described as "melt-in-the-mouth", and is a key factor in the dish's popularity.

Galouti is often served with various accompaniments, such as roti, naan, salad, or raita (a yogurt-based side dish). It can also be served with a variety of sauces or chutneys, such as mint or cilantro chutney. Galouti is a popular dish in many Indian and Pakistani restaurants around the world, and is often considered a signature dish of the region's cuisine. Despite its popularity, the dish remains relatively unknown in many parts of the world, making it a unique and exciting find for those who discover it.
