Hara Bhara Kebab

Kebabs are all-time favourite of North Indians. Be it a shaadi or birthday, kebabs are super hit starters. There are veg and non-veg kebabs. Hara bhara kebab as the name suggests is green in colour due to the green peas, palak and coriander leaves added in it. My niece is a great fan of this kebab.
