Steamed Moong Kabab

 

Hi all..Iftar is an enjoyable moment for any muslim who is fasting..Sipping the first drop of water or drink after fasting for the whole day, the adorable feel is hardddd to describe in words..It is usually better to take light food which is convenient for the stomach after fasting..However, almost all of us used to fill our dining spreads with fried and baked food for iftar..Many of us forget the fact that, we can even make steamed starters/snacks which r tasty as well..I feel this recipe can motivate u to try more steamed recipes for the upcoming iftar feasts..
