VEG SHAMI KEBAB

Shami kebab is a popular punjabi recipe. It was originally a non-veg preparation but due to it's popularity now veg variety is also quite popular.
I recently made this as a birthday surprise for my husband....and it came out really well. It brought back his memories from his time in Chandigarh...and he really enjoyed it. Hope all of you would like that.
