Recipe to make Veg Shami Kababs

Hetal Kamdar
Shami kebabs are basically patty made from Brown Chana, also known as chickpea along with other flavorful spices and fresh herbs. I have given my twist to this Veg Shami Kebabs by adding mayonnaise and fennel seeds powder for extra smoothness and flavor.
