"Rain Rain Go Away, Come again another day. We have some plans and you are pouring on our way 🙁 ".. Yes, that's the song I have been singing since morning! It's been 3 days and it's raining non-stop, spoiling all our weekend plans. I know that I am cribbing a little too much and probably will miss the same rain during summer. I guess... that's being human 😉
So, to cheer us up, we decided to make some chicken kebab with lots of herbs and called it Hara Bhara Chicken. 'Hara' in hindi means the color Green and 'Bhara' means whole-sum 🙂 He usually prefers to grill it and that is the kind of cooking he enjoys :), but I wanted to make it easy. So, we baked it and then broiled it. It was cooked to perfection.. every bite was juicy and savory. Also, I made a very easy and simple dip with some yogurt and mint.
