Ingredients
- FOR THE KEBABS
- 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)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 16 long wooden skewers, soaked in water

- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1 cucumber, very small diced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
Instructions
- 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.
- Grill instructions:
- Grill over medium-high heat for a total of 6-7 minutes, turning the kebabs occasionally to cook all sides.
- Broiler instructions:
- Broil under high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning the kebabs over once halfway during cooking.
