Looks like as if I am jinxed with the Kebab fever. I was not crazy about Kebabs and I seldom get them right when I make from scratch. Whenever we crave them, we go for the nearby Kebab corners. Our latest discovery are the Turkish ones - we have quite a few Istanboly coffee shops near the place we live and they serve some of the best grills in town. From Shawarmas to Shish Tawook on the sticks, mouth watering and juicy Kebabs are what they boast off and not to forget the relishing Hummus with Arabian Breads.
Of late, I started to look out for some easy Kebabs recipes that we could try at home. Realized that it is not much of an effort. So tried it one day with some minced meat and light spices to get the Turkish kind of taste, jazzed it up with cumin and oregano and such and enjoy it hot.
That is how I ended up trying a good bunch of Kebab recipes after the initial success. And that is why I decided to introduce the Kebabolicious evenings at Aysha's Kitchenette which will feature all my tried and tested Kebabs.
I hope you are enjoying the recipes and I promise you that I have a few more to post and many more to try. Poultry or lamb... both taste awesome. Try swapping them sometimes for some variety.
Also a recipe for a mint yogurt dip is put down and it is sure to give you the added zest.

1 kg boneless lamb cut into cubes
4 tsp ginger paste
3 tsp garlic paste

Yoghurt
4 Tbsp lemon wedges
