Kachnar/ /kachnar Kali/ buds Kebabas

It is not always the case that kebabs are made of chicken, fish or any other meat. If that's how would have been, what would have happened to us,  the Vegetarians. 😁

There are various types of veg  kebabs like hariyali paneer kabab, dahi ke kebab, soya kabab, paneer tikka kebab, kathal ke shami kebab, etc.
We can also make Kebabas using by lentil like masoor, chana or rajma.
I think making kebabs is my comfort zone.
When I see any vegetable, the first thought that pops in my mind is to make tikki or kebabs of it. 😋
My vendor bought for me these kachnar kali.
Usually in our family we make sabji but this time I have made kebabs.

Kachnar buds are found in season in local vegeatable markets.
You can also get the kachnar buds in parks.

For sabji first we boil it and then make it with rice paste along with spices but people make it in different ways.
I have never tried the flowers.
