The Holy month of Ramadan is here and we are seriously missing the yummy street food we are treated to at this time!
We bet, if we weren’t in quarantine we would be hitting the streets to indulge in some mouthwatering Iftaar snacks. Keeping in mind the love we have for these appetizing Muslim delicacies, we bring you a recipe you can try at home.
Follow these steps and treat yourself and family to some yummy mutton shami kebabs. Check out the recipe here:
