Chicken Chaap

Chicken chaap is  a heavenly tasting dish and is very easily available in most of the fast food centers in Kolkata.  I always used to go gaga by the smell of the Chicken chaap prepared in the Mughlai fast food centre near my house in Kolkata .But poor me! I never used to have the chance of having it as in my parents house since childhood chicken,onion & garlic was not bought or used in any food . So I only had Chicken chaap maybe three or four times in childhood. Well who can stop me now :P. And since I have learned to cook it at home, it is available even in this far away land...
