Afghani Chicken Kabobs
Afghani cuisine is influenced by Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines. The people of Afghanistan are big meat eaters and love to barbecue. Kabobs are a staple of their cuisine. Instead of cooking them in a tandoor like their neighbors in Pakistan and India, kabobs are grilled over an open flame.
