Kebab recipes: Mutton Galawati, Kakori Kebabs ( Mughlai dish)

kebab recipes : mutton galawati, kakori kebabs

We simply love kebabs. We serve kebabs for appetizers when hosting guests over. We don't think twice before calling in for kebabs from the local market as a quick snack.
Such is our love for kebabs. Then how is it that we shy away from making kebabs at home? A lot of us believe that cooking kebabs is very tedious as chances of going wrong with the proportions abound. But the truth is rustling up this delectable Mughlai dish is not as cumbersome as previously believed, for it only requires a bit of patience, some flair and a heart for serving good food.
