Sajji

Sajji is a cherished traditional dish from Pakistan's Balochistan province. The authentic rendition features a whole lamb, marinated simply with salt and cooked on skewers until it is rare. However, due to cost considerations, many commercial versions substitute chicken.

Typically, Sajji is served with special breads like Kaak, roti, or naan, all baked in a tandoor oven. There are regional variations of this dish, especially in urban areas like Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore. In these cities, chicken is more commonly used and often roasted to medium or well-done. Instead of traditional Kaak bread, it is frequently accompanied by rice.

In Lahore, you can savor Balochi Sajji at popular eateries like Bundo Khan Restaurant near Gaddafi Stadium.
