Author's note: I am from Patna, Bihar now living in New Jersey. We used to enjoy the Nargisi Kababs at Pintu Restaurant. I tried making it here in US and it came out delicious. However, it really became my favorite party appetizer when I started making it in the oven. (An idea I got from Neelam, my sister-in-law). My friend Poonam Verma (NJ) suggested I share the recipe with my PatnaDaily readers.
