Galouti Kabab is essentially a non vegetarian dish where the mince meat is made into a Kabab. I chose to make a Vegetarian version and thoroughly enjoyed. This post is in continuation to my Moong Dal Burger which I made yesterday. Galouti Kabab is mainly a cuisine of Lucknow where history says that Nawab of Oudh had invited a ruler from a different kingdom over dinner and the invitee was very old and hardly had any teeth. So the Nawab ordered his Bawarchi to make a Kabab which would be as soft like it will melt in the mouth and hence Galaouti Kabab.
