From Northern India this dish has Persian influencers and packs a punch of flavour. Such an easy dish to prepare and because the spice mix is made from scratch can be altered according to your own palate.

This is a fantastic and easy Northern Indian dish that will give you a party of flavours in the mouth. It will pair well with a fresh Sauvignon Blanc, Rose or a Cabernet Sauvignon. It is super simple to make and can be made well ahead of time and left in the fridge to marinade. I left mine 8 hours and then grilled up but you can leave over-night as well. These would be fantastic for any BBQ.
