DIET KEBABS

I think at least once you must have tried this very tasty food called kebabs. I am great fan of kebabs for its smoky taste. A few days back I am expressing to a friend of mine, that how I resist my carving for kebabs for health hazard. Listening my sad story he emailed me his healthy version of kebabs ( which I thought was absolutely impossible) but when I prepared his version of diet kebabs it turned out awesome.
