Cobbler under Tree

According to the folk tale, a few hundred years ago, in the suburbs of Mardan, there was a cobbler. He had a tough time in his business, so he invented the idea that he should sell kebabs made of buffalo meat. He started cooking alongside his normal routine work.

His business started to pick up. He used to serve this buffalo meat patty on a leaf of a tree. People started calling it Chambal kebab as the tree under the cobbler cum Cook was working was Chambal Tree. With the passage of time, this chambal reached fame. Other people started making it in other cities. As time passed by, the name Chambal was replaced by Chappal Kebab. The shape somehow looked weird, but the taste was unique and spicy.
