Ramadan Mubarrak. In Bangladesh Ramadan and iftar in Puran Dhaka  are inseparable or entangle . Puran Dhaka is famous for its traditional food and Suti Kabab / Sutli Kabab (specially in Iftar) stands there with glory. This kabab goes well with paratha and puffed rice(muri).

6. Secure the meat with cotton thread and brush it with oil.
7. Bake it for 20 minutes in middle of the oven and turn it; bake 10 more minutes.

Tips:

1. I am using 4 skewer instead of 1 thick skewer. If you have thick skewer , you need to use just one.
2. You can meat tenderizer instead of papaya paste.
3. You can grill or pan fry Suti kabab/ Sutli kabab.
4. You can use more or less chilli to your taste.
