Well, last week it was my birthday and I had a great time, got loads of wishes and lavish gift from hubby dear. Also in the evening we had the dinner at one of my favorite place; Reds. We had all my favorite dishes. And the Hara Bhara kebabs we ordered were awesome. There I decided that I will be trying my hand at very soon at this nawabi delicacy soon.
And yesterday only I charted out the menu for the dinner with the Hara Bhara kebab
as starter. Here I am sharing the recipe with you. Although I got bit experimental by adding chana dal to it. But the end product was delicious. Hope the art of cooking kebabs had been developed by nawabs in India. An excellent kebab is one which is crispy
Yet it melts in mouth as soon as you have the bite. Basically a non veg culinary but it has it own vegetarian additions these days, one of them is Hara Bhara kebab.
