Funny story about this recipe. I used to make this dish every week at one point in my life, im talking probably 7-8 years ago! I never called it kebabs, instead I called them meatballs. That was until a colleague of mine banned me from using the “M” word, I was Indian and apparently only allowed to call them kebabs – bleh!
Moving on…..
Anyway you say them they are still delicious regardless – I serve them with warm rotis straight out the pan – is there anything better?
Here is how you can make this delicious dish!
