Kastoori Kebab


This happens to be a Murgh Tikka albeit with a slight twist i.e. a mild coating of egg and spiced with cumin and flavored with cardamom.  Boneless pieces of chicken breast marinated in ginger garlic paste, lemon and pepper powder and coated with a breadcrumb, gramflour and egg layer.
