Hi, everyone knows about Tunday Kababs from Lucknow but unfortunately they are only made with lamb.Now those of you who don't eat lamb in particular or are vegetarian feel left out.So here is a question: Why should non-vegetarians have all the fun? Introducing my Signature Dish Veg Tunday Kababi , made with 21 distinct spices touching every unique taste buds.Takes about 2 hrs to prepare, including an hour long marinade.If you make it in a tandoor or a grill it will be real quick but I don't have one so I am going to use a flat pan on low heat.Lets get started.
