Having grown up in Moradabad and Aligarh , the art of fine seekh kebabs was something I grew up with.
Melt in the mouth kebabs, crisp yet soft.
Today the seekh kebabs one gets are tough and tasteless -The meat is drowned in spices
The art of the kebabchi lies in blending it just right so it doesn’t break – to overcome that modern kebabchis add too much besan or other binding agents.
So Babu Bhai kebabs come as a treat.
He sits in Chitli Qabr area of Old Delhi. One has to walk down from the Karim lane in Matiya Mahal towards Chitli Qabr and you will find him in a shop in one of the Masjid alcoves.
Earlier he says his father the actual Babu Bhai had a shop underneath the masjid
