کباب
The English phrase kabob is translated into Persian as کباب.
In Persian, کباب is a generic term that can refer to various types of grilled meat dishes, not just a single specific recipe.
Did you know?
- The most famous version, kabob koobideh, is made from minced meat. The name comes from the verb koobidan, which means 'to beat' or 'to pound'.
- In Iran, کباب is rarely eaten alone. It is almost always served with tahdig, a prized layer of scorched rice or bread that is the most coveted part of the meal.
- The Persian word کباب was borrowed from the Arabic word كَبَاب.
