Moong Dal Chaat

Snack time usually becomes the junk eating time. I personally crave for some chaat, samosa, fried food along with my evening tea.

I have made various versions of chicken tikkas at home but never tried seekh kebabs as they require grill/tandoor to make. When I came across the recipe of seekh kebab on tawa without an oven, which was very easy to make and the kebabs made very succulent and tasty, I immediately decided to give it a try. You can also try this recipe which requires and let me know how it turned out to be.
