Ghar ka khaana

Bharat Mirchandani tells you the recipe for lp-smacking shami kabab burger.

My interest in food started when I was quite young, helping my mom flip tikkis when there were guests, grinding the chutney and other non-critical kitchen jobs. About 16 years ago, I shot the Sundrop oil campaign (the photo on the oil can is by me). And I have been cooking and shooting food ever since. The kids (I have two) really love what dad cooks. Here’s a recipe for shami kabab burger.
