Chelo Kabab traditionally refers to Koobideh (seasoned ground lamb or beef kabab) served with chelo, the classic steamed Iranian rice. Kabab Koobideh is made from minced meat mixed with onions, salt, and pepper, molded onto wide skewers, and grilled over open flames until juicy and smoky. Chelo refers to fluffy steamed rice, usually prepared from high-quality white rice grown in the northern provinces of Iran, such as Gilan and Mazandaran. It can be local Iranian varieties or imported basmati rice, always cooked to perfection and often finished with a drizzle of saffron water. Chelo Kabab is widely recognized as Iran’s national dish, traditionally served with grilled tomatoes, butter, raw onions, and sumac, enjoyed in restaurants, family gatherings, and festive occasions.
