Instructions
- Mix all the sauce ingredients and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the kebab, except oil. Combine well using your hands. Avoid over-mixing the batter. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and roll them into the shape of sausages. Pierce the skewers through the kebabs.
- In a wide pan, heat enough oil over medium heat and place the skewers. Cook the kebab for about 8 minutes until they turn brown on all sides. Once done, remove and drain the excess oil using kitchen tissue.
- Garnish with yoghurt sauce and lemon wedges. Serve hot with pita bread, along with tomato slices and lettuce.
