Green Chicken Kabab/Green Chicken Drumsticks

Merry Christmas Everyone!

This is the Christmas season. A little voice plays in my head its OK to indulge a bit here and there , then you can do the walk and stop the talk. Well, I told myself the same last year and the year before. Only if there’s some determination to get up and get moving. Well this year I think there may be some determination a bit more maybe? A bit more than last year and the year before. 🙂 Anyone has trouble sticking to diets and exercise? With the new year fast approaching its time for resolutions. I read a post which said “Resolution for 2017 is keeping that was made for 2016.” I am one of those. This recipe was given by a friend Percy. Although I have made the recipe a few years back. You could also do this over the Stove/ Stove top.This Christmas I wanted to try the Tandoori as well as the Green Kabab as an alternate.
