Bun kebab

Bun kebab (Urdu: بَن کباب) or anda shami (Urdu: انڈا شامی) is a sandwich that originated in Pakistan, but is now popular all throughout the Indian subcontinent. Bun kebabs are a signature in Pakistani metro cities like Karachi and Lahore, but they can be found all over Pakistan. Bun Kebab vendors are scattered all across Karachi, vendors on Burns Road being particularly famous, and imitated by frozen bun kebabs sold in South Asian supermarkets across the world. In India, it is eaten as a regular street food, specifically, in the Indian cities of Bhopal, Lucknow, and Hyderabad; it is especially popular with Indian Muslims, the dish is eaten late-night during Ramadan. Bun kebabs are usually sold from roadside stalls, side street vendors, and fast food restaurants. They are also commonly known as anday wala burger. A ‘fried’ version of the bun kebab is popular in Lahore, known as ‘bun plaster’ due to copious amounts of butter and super tender or paste-like kebab mixture used in it. Bun kebabs are usually eaten as a main course or snack.
