TASTE's take

Take five familiar ingredients - curry powder, red chillies, garlic, onion and fresh coriander - use them in a new way, and suddenly you're cooking Kenyan. These kebabs are popular street food in Mombasa, Kenya. They are aromatic with spices - the result of the influence of the large Indian population.

These popular minced lamb kebabs are grilled over wood braziers. Make them for a Sunday braai or cook them under the oven grill.
