Kebabs were prepared with many aromatic spices such as tejpatta, cumin seeds, star anise, cloves cardamoms, Peppercorns, Raw Papaya paste, coriander seeds, Javitri and many more, which were added in different proportions for different kind of meat. The aromas of these spices used for marinating meat for that melt in mouth texture, served hot with green chutney of coriander and pudina leaves.

Galouti kebab is also known as Gilawat ke kabab. These kebabs were invented for old nawab of Lucknow who have no teeth and that is why these kebabs were made so that they were easy to eat.

Then khansamas explored a newer way to cook kebab which needed no chewing but has all the same rich flavours and taste of kebabs as the original one which has hundreds of spices. The original version of these juicy kebabs believed to have more than hundred aromatic spices in it.
