Tales for taste buds: Vegetable Kebabs

Tea time is a very special time for some of us. We sit back with our family relax, sharing our day's activities or our thoughts while sipping a cup of coffee or tea. This has been the same ritual even in my house back in India where me and my parents used to sit in our balcony and have our usual tea time chats in the evening after my father's back home from office. And if we have something to bite into along with our tea or coffee the evening chats become much more exiting and lovely.

Just this evening as I was going through all the recipes I've bookmarked, my eyes fell upon this recipe from "Novice Houswife" which I knew will definitely satisfy my taste buds this evening... "Vegetable Kebabs". They are definitely easy to make and can be a perfect tea time snack and even make it into your party menue.
