Finally, add the fried kababs to the gravy and cook until tender.
Are beef kababs with gravy suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Yes, beef kababs can be made gluten-free by substituting the gram flour with a gluten-free flour alternative, such as chickpea flour or almond flour. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially any sauces or spices, are also gluten-free.
What can I use instead of yogurt in the beef kababs gravy?
If you're looking for a substitute for yogurt in the beef kababs gravy, you can use sour cream, coconut cream, or a dairy-free yogurt alternative. Each of these will provide a creamy texture and tangy flavor similar to yogurt.
How should I store leftover beef kababs with gravy?
