Kakori Kabab

There are several stories that surround the creation of these succulent kebabs. Centuries ago, the Nawab of Kakori (in the province of Awadh, which is modern-day Uttar Pradesh) had a mishap in which he lost his teeth (another story has it that the Nawab was simply getting on in age). He loved lamb and still wanted to eat it, so his cooks created this special soft version for him.
