A very famous dish from the City of Lahore, it is a show stopper for sure. This is a rage in Pakistan and this recipe can be twisted according to our likes and preferences. It's available in every restaurant. I have made this for Iftaar meals in Ramadan many a times and every time I make it, there is a lovely feeling of satisfaction that the dish has turned out rather well. It's a lovely dish and takes only a few minutes except for the marination part. And in this particular recipe, marination plays a key role, hence it is important to marinate it overnight for best results. Try this mouthwatering dish and relish with family and friends.
Happy Cooking Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
