Tandoori Kalmi Kabab

Kalmi kabab- All non vegetarians love to eat Kalmi kabab, it will be yummy. We many time would have ordered kalmi kabab at restaurants and enjoyed a lot and ofcourse will be for sure expensive. But when we prepare it at home, all at home can enjoy kalmi kabab  together  and cost of preparation will be very less. 
Chicken leg pieces/Drumsticks are marinated  with curd and more spices and then cooked on tava or pan. 

Kalmi kabab in restaurants are cooked in a clay oven called tandoor, but we at home cooked on a pan, as we cant manage a tandoor at home. But still we can prepare it using Barbeque or a charcoal fire. Please check the link where we had also prepared kalmi kabab using charcoal fire. Kalmi kabab using charcoal fire .
