Key Points for Making More Delicious Chenjeh

• If you want the kebabs to be cooked in less time, place the kebabs in the refrigerator for a longer time to flavor. 
• Chenjeh kebab can also be made with beef, but it is better to use fresh mutton as much as possible to prepare a soft and delicious kebab. 
• To make the KebabKebab more delicious, you can add some dissolved saffron and your favorite spices and vegetables while preparing the sauce. 
• When grilling the meat, you can mix the melted butter and saffron and brush them on both sides of the meat to make it more palatable and delicious. 
• Preparing the Chenjeh kabab on charcoal is better than the stove.
• If you want to soak the meat in the sauce for a longer time, you should use chopped onion instead of grating onion.
• Be careful not to overheat the KebabKebab on charcoal because it dries the KebabKebab. As we mentioned before, if the meat has been in the refrigerator for a long time, there is no need to grill it for a long time.
• Make sure to add salt when skewering the Kebabs, not when seasoning them.
• You can use kiwi inside the kebab ingredients to make the Chenjeh softer and crispier.
• If you do not like the smell of meat, you can use more onions in the kebab ingredients.
