Reshmi Kebab

 Kebab is a North indian  starter / appetizer  served in Dhaba restaurants . Tandoori chicken is more spicy masala version . But this kebab and thangdi kebab are little spicy and more tasty because of the natural flavours from herbs and curd.   My Husband tried reshmi kebab  and came out very well ... really a tangy yummy starter...
