Spiced Chicken Kebabs

Whether for a quick supper, for party food or for a braai or barbecue, meat on a stick always goes down well. These chicken skewers are easy to make and delicious.

Ingredients:
For the Chicken Kebabs:
2 eggs
10ml ground cumin
10ml chilli powder
5ml white pepper
5ml garum masala
60g coriander leaves, finely chopped
20ml grated root ginger
12 cashew nuts, ground
1 onion, finely chopped
30ml vegetable oil
1kg chicken breasts, minced
2ml salt

For the minted mango yoghurt:
150ml natural yoghurt
30-50ml mango chutney
20-30ml mint sauce

Method:
To make the Kebabs:
Soak 6 wooden skewers in cold water for about an hour. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl then add the remaining ingredients. Mix well, blending with the fingers to bring the meat together like sausage meat. Divide into 6 equal portions, then with wet hand, shape each portion around one of the wet wooden skewers to form a smooth long sausage. Put in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
Cook the chicken skewers over a medium-high heat on a flat griddle plate or a ridged griddle pan, turning over or twice until the meat is browned at the edges and cooked through.
Serve with minted mango yoghurt.

To make the Minted Mango Yoghurt:
Mix the three ingredients together and serve with the chicken skewers in a separate bowl.
