Feasting on a Regal Heritage
“The word ‘Qursi’ means ‘throne ‘. The dish reflects an essence, in every bite it offers. Initially created for banquets, this kebab meant anything but a simple meal. It came to symbolize hospitality, opulence and magnificence. At Taftoon, we pay homage to this tradition by giving the dish a twist without losing its authenticity. Saffron, also known as the ‘king of spices’ plays a role, in enhancing the flavors of this dish.
The unique charm of the Zafrani Qursi Kebab lies in its mix of tastes and sensations. It starts with tender chicken marinated in saffron infused creamy yogurt and a mysterious medley of spices that work their magic to infuse the meat with flavors. Cooked right until it reaches that melt in your mouth tenderness and a hint of smokiness, from a charring that elevates the dish to a whole new level.
The enchantment doesn’t end there though! The kebab comes on a bed of ghee infused rice with the right touch of spices to enhance the chickens richness perfectly. They combine to make a dish that is both fulfilling and refined. Every mouthful is luxurious yet comforting, a winter pleasure.
