Notes
This dish is more delicious and juicier when barbecued on coal. However, you can also easily use any type of indoor grills or an oven to make it.
Serve warm with rice or bread. Along with grilled tomatoes, fresh herbs, salads, yogurt, or pickles.
In picnics, Chicken Kabab sandwich using flatbread such as Sangak, topped up with grilled tomato, and fresh herbs are the best.
