Sekuwa in Australia

Sekuwa is Nepali barbecue: chunks of lamb, chicken, pork or buff rubbed with spices and mustard oil, threaded onto skewers and grilled over flame until the edges char. In Nepal it is street food, eaten straight off the grill with beaten rice and raw onion. Here it lands as a starter, a bar snack, and the reason the table orders another round.

The good versions taste of the fire as much as the marinade. Order it with chiura and a wedge of lemon, and if the menu offers pork sekuwa, that is usually the kitchen showing off.

We have mapped 99 spots serving it, most across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
