I wanted to make Chicken Reshmi Kebab for my husband because he loves them. I tried two recipes, but they didn’t turn out well.
I didn’t give up. I kept trying until I found a recipe that worked. When I made these kebabs for my husband, he loved them! The flavors were great, and the texture was perfect.
