This kebab has an interesting name, doesn’t it? It is popular in Bangladesh. The Sutli kebab is very soft, and it so succulent and juicy that the mince has to be bound by a thread. A paste of meat and spices is wrapped around a metal sheekh, and it is tied with a cotton thread, and then it is heated in a barbeque pit. The thread holds the delicate mixture. It is removed after the kebab is cooked. Then this delicious kebab is enjoyed with some soft roti. The spicy kebab tastes absolutely sumptuous with the soft roti.
