My first time having this appetizer was at a restaurant in India in 2009. It was mouth watering and I knew I had to get the recipe. I found a few on the net but never got around to actually trying them out. Then one of my friend's (thanks Dhiral) invited us over for dinner and had made this ... it was just as mouth watering. After having it again I set out to make it the next day and it was delicious. You will savor every bite. Enjoy :)

This has been my favourite since a long time.. I tried this recipe but also added Amchur since we like the tang. Tasted yummy but a little greasy.. Should probably try pan frying next time instead of deep frying. Bottom line.. A great recipe! :)
ReplyDeletePoonam thanks for the tip ... I love tangy as well and I'll definitely remember to add amchur powder the next time around. I agree with you this recipe definitely calls for shallow fry hence using the griddle to fry or else it can get quite greasy and take away from the taste of the kababs :) Glad you all enjoyed it :)
