Use water to wet the sheesh skewers and then shape the sheesh kebab on it. Similarly use wooden skewers for the tikkas. Once done, we can grill them on a pan griller or over fire as we have the facility. Once grilled remove them in a plate.

For cooking rice, take some water in a vessel and add all the spices like Bay Leaf, Cinnamon, Aniseed, Nut Meg Mace, Green Cardamoms and Cloves and keep it to boil on medium flame. Once the water starts to boil, drop the washed and soaked rice in it and let it cook.
