Chicken Shammi Kebab
I call it the starter that belongs to the whole of the Indian sub continent as it is relished across different states in India , Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The name is said to be derived of the word Sham which means evening making it a perfect starter for suppers and also Shamam which means perfume thereby explaining the royal aroma that comes out of the kitchen when you cook it.
This serves as a real quick starter and you can cook this easily. Since the cooking is straight forward, it does not require a lot of attention. This makes it an apt dish as a starter when you have people home as you can concentrate more on the main course without worrying about your starter.
This is my version of the dish which I had made for a set of friends while they were home, enjoy and let me know how did you like the recipe in the comments below.
