Recipe 11/50 : Pakistan : Seekh Kebabs

Recently I had kebabs at a local restaurant near Washington D.C and I hated them very badly. After coming back home from D.C I decided to make kebabs and enjoy its taste in every bite I had. At the same time I also had to cook something for my 50 from 50 in 50 challenge and hence came up with an idea of cooking kebabs of Pakistan, Seekh Kebabs.  
After making these kebabs at home, I wished to get back to that place in D.C and ask the person to taste them. I know I'm being very mean but ,when you spend money you wish to get at least the food which is eatable right??? I don't say I'm perfect but all I wish "taste before you serve". 
The recipe I tried is very simple and requires very less time to cook too.
