Takeaway kebabs and more

We love a kebab shop treat! The smell of roasting meat and spices is a happy reminder of holidays in the sun, and a trip to the Turkish kebab house feels like a little taste of sunshine.

But I also like to eat my food fresh from the stove and served on a proper plate. This means that we often like to make our favourite kebab shop recipes at home.

It’s good to enjoy all those wonderful recipes and to know at the same time that you didn’t add too much salt or sugar. If anyone in the home allergies, it’s especially reassuring to keep control over what you eat.

So while it’s great to let someone else do the cooking occasionally, I think it’s well worth learning to make your favourite takeaway kebab recipes (or ‘fakeaway kebabs’). It keeps the cost down and means you can afford to enjoy them more often too.

That’s why I have collected my favourite takeaway style kebab recipes and more, ready for you to explore. Happy cooking!

Why make kebab shop meals at home?

• It’s affordable
• The food is fresher to the plate
• You can tweak the recipe to suit your taste
• You control what’s in your food

Takeaway kebab recipes

The core of the kebab shop meal, aromatic and irresistible.

Shish kebab recipes

Shish kebabs are made with marinated chunks of meat cooked on a skewer. They are very easy to make, and very adaptable.

Usually the marinade contains lemon juice and spices, often with yogurt to create a visible coating. It both flavours and tenderises the meat, giving you delicious, juicy results every time. Spice it up or tone it down to suit your taste.

Kofta kebab recipes

Kofta kebabs are usually made from flavoured ground meat which is shaped round the skewers. The word kofta means a meatball. Squeezing them onto skewers allows them to be cooked over a barbecue or open fire, though I like to cook them in the oven.

You may also know kofta kebabs as seekh kebabs, the version native to Northern India, Afghanistan and Pakistan where they may be cooked in a tandoor oven.
