Nargesi Kebab, Nargesi Kofta or Narges Shami Kebab is an Afghan, Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern dish originating in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh during the Mughal period and is a kind of kebab or kofta with a chicken egg in the middle. It is named after the Narcissus flower because kebabs look like the flower's petals when they are cut.
To cook Nargesi Kebab, you wrap a mixture of minced meat, usually beef, diced onions and various spices, around a boiled egg, which is then fried in ghee or butter and eaten alongside tzatziki, curry, or other condiments.[1][2][3][4]
