The Famous Street Food of Pakistan - Bun Kabab

Bun Kabab is an authentic Pakistani sandwich, served with chutney. It is usually found in road side stalls and in restaurants. Bun Kabab consists of a spicy patty which is shallow-fried, onions, tomatoes, cucumber and chutney or raita in a burger bun or hotdog bun.

Unlike a beef patty, the bun kabab is mixed with ground lentils, powdered cumin seeds, and an egg batter into a mixture which is then fried in ghee or oil. One may find bun kabab at vendor stalls throughout Pakistan.

Variations:
The patty can be made of chicken, potatoes, beef or mutton. The beef and egg recipe though is the most popular, especially with the street vendors of bun kabab.
