ABOUT JUJEH KEBAB (CHICKEN LEG WITH CRANBERRY PILAF) RECIPE

Now the dish has to be simple .Isn't it.. And why I call it Jujeh Kebab because this is what my favourite restaurant George@Camp serves only on Tuesday and Thursday. Didn't I tell you it was a Monday.. That's why I had to dig into my pantry and took out a piece of nice chicken leg and some dried cranberries and then took the audacity and risk to lay my hands in experimenting something new which I would have never dared to had it been any other day.. Some things are best left with experts !

Thats is all you need to cook rice.
Enjoy your meal. For serving, take a small tomato and char it on flame. It taste so tamatoeee..!!!
