We need more Pakistani cuisine representation worldwide. Since indian and Pakistani cuisine resembles so much because of same historical background, whatever changes the Pakistani cuisine has seen in past 76 years post partition needs to explored more on a global level. Because its so rich and each dish is a burst of flavors with a story of its own. Go chef fatima❤️

@@HASHO745 That's the truth, kid, whether you like it or not. When people say "Pakistan" anything, they're talking about the Punjab province, because it tries to dominate over every other province. And Punjabi food is pretty much the same on either side of the border, regardless of the partition.

Bun kebab is something I desperately missed after moving to Canada. For me, it was a cheap, hot, fresh and yummy street snack,,,to end your shopping trip with your mom....to grab a quick bite during lunch break at office....to enjoy it with friends while on budget as students...a late night eat-in-car snack on a long drive...to pack for picnics with family...the first platter to disappear on a family get together... it was not just food...it was countless memories...

I usually make a large batch, place them on a sheet tray, lined with baking paper making sure the kababs aren’t touching each other, cover with foil and freeze them. Once they are frozen, I transfer them to a food safe bag. I don’t defrost the kababs before cooking them. Just heat up some oil at medium heat, dip the kababs in beaten egg and fry until done.

I always make them in bulk to freeze and eat later as a snack with chai or with pulao as a side or many other things. It's really good and this recipe is really good too!
