Microwave Chicken Tangri Kabab ~ Festival Special Snacks

Kababs form an important part of the North Indian cuisine. And the most basic kababs are quite versatile and easy to cook Chicken Tangri Kabab is one of the most popular starter dishes in India and other parts of Indian sub-continent. Chicken tangri kebab is usually had as a snack.I used the traditional yogurt with ginger and garlic paste as marinade. The dry spices created the beautiful blend of flavors and aromas. It tastes awesome with tomato sauce and onion rings.
