Tawa Bihari Chicken Kebab

Everyone wants to experiment with new kabab recipes especially chicken kebabs. Bihari Chicken Kebab is well-known in North India and Pakistan. Bihari Kebabs are soft, succulent, and perfectly blended in spices. The best part of this recipe is that you don’t need an oven or grill to prepare this dish. Unlike in BBQ, tawa fry kebabs retain the masala, which make the dish deliciously moist instead of completely dry (like Seekh Kebabs). To give it the charcoal aroma, there’s a technique you’ll love. Just look at the end of the recipe 😀 🙂
