Bihari kababs, also widely known as bihari boti, are my favorite. The rich history and delicious flavor make it hard to resist, but there is more than meets the eye with this dish! I grew up eating these juicy and tender meatballs made from minced beef that is then marinated with spices before being grilled over an open flame on skewers for a flavorful experience like no other!

These juicy and tender kababs are a true delicacy. With just enough spice to keep anyone's taste buds interested, these delicious meatballs are always the heart of any dawat.

Like other kababs, these also have to be marinated with various spices and left for hours before cooking to properly infuse all flavors. However, gathering, measuring, and grounding spices can be a tiring process.

To avoid this hassle, and in search of one spice blend that makes scrumptious bihari kababs every time, I tried and rated the following spice blends based on packaging options, additives, and shelf life. Here's my take on these blends mixes;

Shan Bihari Kabab Masala

I used Shan Bihari Kabab Masala to make some amazing kababs last night. The spice blend is very easy to use and contains the perfect proportion of all the essential spices. The kababs were spicy, like hot fiery spicy and the aroma was mouth-watering. With no additives, these were a hit in my family.

Malka Bihari Kabab Masala

The kababs cooked with National bihari kabab masala were nicely balanced and were not too spicy, which makes it perfect for people like me who don't like things too hot. The kababs come out looking and tasting hot and delicious. Although, the packet does not provide any information on additives.

National Bihari Kabab

These taste heavenly, and come in chicken patties only. These too are free of preservatives and MSG. Although these have limited packaging options, these are widely available at  our local grocery store.
