__BLURB_Cold winter evenings are a great time to bond with your family members and munch on some season’s specials like sweet potatoes or a warm cup of chai. And if you have pakoras for company, life is just perfect. Murgh ke kurkure kebab was something I came up with on demand from a friend who wanted to eat something different one evening. The friend became a fan so I am sharing this recipe in the hopes that you can get some kitchen brownie points too.

80 gms coconut, freshly grated
