Today the second week of Blogging Marathon#13 has started. I will be posting under seven days of Kebabs theme. Kebabs are expected to originate from Persia. Usually meat or lamb are used in the preparation. Kebabs are inserted in a skewer rod and cooked in tandoor. Even tikkis come under this category. I will be posting vegetarian recipes for kebabs for the whole week. In vegetarian recipes the main ingredient can be tofu, paneer or potato. The binding ingredient can be corn flour or flour or bread crumbs. I will be grilling my kebabs in oven. Are you ready for the week long treat? The green peas kebab is a good party starter. As I have made it into small kebabs on tooth picks, you can serve it easily in a party.

Mashed Potato-1/2cup
Fresh / Frozen Green Peas-1cup
Fennel Powder-1/2tsp
