Sajji

Sajji is a native dish of the desert province of Balochistan, Pakistan. It consists of whole lamb, in skewers (fat and meat intact), marinated only in salt, sometimes covered with green papaya paste, stuffed with rice, then roasted over coals. Sajji is considered done when it is at the 'rare' stage. It is served with a special bread "Kaak", "roti" or "naan", which is baked in an oven, wrapped around a stone. Sajji is favourite of Balochistan natives, where most are nomads. A spicier version is preferred Karachi or Lahore, uses chicken instead of lamb, and is roasted until it is medium or well-done.

Famous Sajji outlets in Karachi and Lahore are Quetta Sajji House and Food Street.
