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.
