It’s good to keep trying new things in life, isn’t it? I love experimenting with my food and making variations to keep it interesting and healthy. One such recent recipe was Jackfruit/kathal kebabs. Saw many people post pictures on Instagram and I decided to give it a try as well.
I, of course, gave it a healthy twist and added quinoa to it. I didn’t go by the usual route of using maida (all purpose flour) and boiled potatoes. And boy, it was a wonderful recipe. Absolutely loved it and would love to make it again.
