Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 medium onion, peeled
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground pork, beef or lamb (or any combination)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • 16 long wooden skewers, soaked in water
  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, very small diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh mint

Instruction

  • Preheat the grill or preheat the oven by turning your broiler on high.
  • To make the Raita - combine the ingredients in a bowl.
  • To make the Kebabs, using the large holes of a box grater, grate the onion. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well with your hands.
  • Divide the meat into 8 equal sized balls and shape the ball around 2 bamboo skewers. (Using 2 bamboo skewers will make handling the kebabs and the grilling easier.)
  • Shape the meat along the stick to form the kebab, which should be approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.
