Chicken Kefta Kebab
This week I was craving something a little exotic. I spiced things up with Chicken Kefta Kebabs. The kebabs I’m making are the same type of kebabs that you may find at an Indian or Pakistani restaurant. I love that I can dine on ethnic cuisine with no worries about interrupting my low carb diet.…
