Best Halal Meat Dishes
If you’re a non-Muslim, you might not be familiar with the term ‘halal’. Directly translated from Arabic, the term ‘halal’ means ‘permissible’. In order for food to become permissible, it must follow the Zabiha Islamic rules. These rules indicate things like how an animal should be slaughtered, by who, and what ingredients are allowed in food.
If you’re looking for the best halal meat dishes, here are a few ideas to get you going:
Shawarma
This juicy way to make your halal meat will never get old. Whether you want it chicken or beef, shawarma is a delicious choice. When making chicken shawarma, commonly used ingredients are cumin, coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, and more. Don’t forget the hot pita bread too. These items can all be found on our website.
Halal Beef Kabob
At first glance, a kabob may remind you of a corn dog. However, halal beef kabobs are a much healthier alternative and different in their ingredients. In order to make a kabob, you will need tender halal beef, preferably a sirloin cut. As for the marinade, lemon, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder and dijon create the perfect taste. Now you want to put each cube of halal meat into a skewer. And voila, a tasty kabob ready to be grilled and devoured.
Chicken Tikka Masala
One of India’s most popular dishes is the chicken tikka masala. A halal chicken breast marinated in Tikka yogurt and the following spices will leave you wanting more: garam Masala, cumin, ground coriander and turmeric. The chicken will absorb all these flavors if you leave it overnight which is what most kitchen gurus recommend. A great addition to this dish is a side of plain white rice - such as this Basmati rice found on our website.

Garlic Parmesan Zaatar Wings

Mince Curry
Halal mince curry is a fun way to spice up a family supper with this hearty meal. Prepare a pot with oil, curry leaves and chopped onions and let it simmer. An important part of the dish is the special Kashmiri spice that you can find on our website. Other delicious ingredients include ginger, garlic and coriander to be added to the simmering pot. Later add the minced halal beef and let the flavors do their thing. This is best served with crispy roti for a nice crunch.
Halal Markets Near Me
In all Halal markets, it’s important for products to be halal certified as it ensures Muslims (and non-Muslim) consumers of their legitimacy in the manufacturing and processing stages. In many countries across the world, halal certifications are given by the government.
There are many ways for a company to get halal certified in the United States, the most common one being the ISA Halal Certification. This stands for Islamic Services of America. They have been certifiers for over 40 years, giving the certification holders a lot of credibility.
Another popular halal certification that you will see in many halal markets near you is the IFANCA certification, which stands for Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America. Suppliers of halal meat can apply for this certification on the IFANCA website. There are five simple steps for getting a halal certificate, however this may be refused, suspended or withdrawn.
The IFANCA may conduct weekly surveillance audits to make sure that the supplier continues to meet expectations. This is because they understand the importance of halal standards for Muslims.
