Kebabs in Agra are a fragrant and flavorful legacy of the city's Mughal courts, offering grilled and pan-fried meat delicacies. The most iconic is the 'Chicken Tikka,' where chunks of meat are marinated in spicy yogurt and roasted in a Tandoor. Another favorite is the 'Seekh Kebab,' made from minced meat mixed with ginger, garlic, and herbs, then grilled on skewers. For a portable meal, these kebabs are wrapped in thin Roomali naans with onions and mint chutney to create 'Kebab Rolls.' These are best enjoyed in the late evening, as the smoky aroma of charcoal grills fills the air.
