According to the Family Magazine service of Saad News, Adana Kebab, named after its birthplace, the southern city of Adana, was originally known as Kıyma Kebab (minced meat kebab). Some trace the origins of this kebab to Iraq and believe that the birth of Adana Kebab is the result of cultural exchange between the Arabs and Turks during the Ottoman period. Others believe the origins of kebab date back to pre-Islamic Iran. There are not many differences in appearance, cooking method, or ingredients between our Koobideh and the Turkish Adana, except for the prominent presence of chopped red pepper in Adana. Of course, a similar kebab is also cooked in the city of Urfa (near Adana), which is essentially the same Adana but without the chili, and its original name is Acısız Kıyma Kebab. Adana Kebab is one of the most delicious kebabs of Turkey, and as its name suggests, it has traveled from the city of Adana to the world. The recipe is easy, and some believe it is similar to the Benab Kebab.
