This one is for my friend who told me to try this dish.
I had recently not prepared any kebabs at home although I had many on my "To-Do" list...but I have been procrastinating so much these days!! :(
My friend told me this recipe and thought of trying it and added a bit of twist to this but turned good and easy to cook.
Kebabs were succulent and even the veggies that I used turned super good to eat!!
Every time I visit any Indian restaurant, Kebabs were always on my order but somehow,every time I got something different than what I imagined, and turn up on my plate.
All this disappointment, added to my frustrations, and I decided that I will prepare at home and better than them :)
I did prepare kebabs at home and that too better and tastier than restaurants!! :)
Do try these and enjoy till last bite!!
