Shami kebab with Yogurt dip

People who love to eat are always the best people ~Julia Child~

The wait period when you know something cooking delicious in your kitchen makes you even more hungry !! That’s what i observed in my husband case You start drooling literally when you being greeted with the fragrance of golden fried shami kebabs.

Shami kebab is a popular snack in Pakistan which is traditionally made with beef.But beef can be replaced by chicken or lamb.I prefer my kebab with yogurt dip , the best condiment for me and very easy to prepare when your mind is in real rush
