About Chicken sekuwa

Chicken Sekuwa is a traditional Nepali dish featuring marinated chicken chunks skewered and grilled over an open flame. This popular street food is crafted using a blend of vibrant spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder, alongside garlic, ginger, and fresh lemon juice, giving the chicken its distinctive, smoky flavor. Originating from the Himalayan region, Sekuwa is celebrated for its simplicity and wholesome cooking method, as it avoids deep frying and uses minimal oil. Rich in protein due to the lean chicken, it’s also packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties from the spices. However, the sodium content can be high depending on seasoning levels, and pairing with carb-heavy sides might add extra calories. Enjoyed as a flavorful part of a balanced meal, Chicken Sekuwa brings a nutritious taste of Nepali tradition to the table.
