  4. Grill kebabs over medium-high heat until cooked through, turning occasionally.

  6. Serve kebabs on a bed of saffron rice, with grilled tomatoes and fresh herbs on the side.

Additional Tips

Chelo Kebab is best eaten hot. You can use chicken, beef, or lamb; marinating the meat overnight enhances flavor. For extra authenticity, serve with sumac powder sprinkled on top and lavash bread on the side.
