These kebabs are marinated in classic Middle Eastern style spices. The use of yogurt in the marinade creates a thick sauce that sticks to the meat and holds the seasonings in place; the yogurt also creates a moist and juicy chicken kebab. Typical in Egyptian cuisine, the spices include curry powder, turmeric, dry mustard, and ground cardamom. The chicken is skewered along with slices of onion and the cooked kebabs are garnished with tomato, green pepper, and fresh mint leaves.
