Mini Chicken Kebabs (Fried Version)

         Kebab is traditionally made with lamb...These are mini chicken kebabs which are actually quite easy to make & without a doubt, they are exceptionally tasteful....I guarantee !!

         Most of the Chicken Kebab or Kabab recipes are skewed and grilled or tandoor variety where the chicken chunks are marinated in special spices and then grilled on skewers or cooked in tandoor....

         This is a fried version & it may not be of the authentic type...But this is a simple Indian recipe that you can serve as an appetizer or as a side dish along with chopped onions/ coriander chutney/ tomato ketchup..It just tastes heavenly..A big thanks to my mom who shared this recipe with me...She tried it out from some cookery show..Something really interesting for kids too...!!
