Savor the smoky flavors of Nepali Sekuwa Kebabs, marinated chicken or pork expertly grilled over an open flame, delivering a tantalizing taste of Himalayan cuisine.

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. Mix well to form a marinade.

Marinate the Meat

Add the chicken or pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Add the Meat

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or barbecue.

Prepare the Skewers

Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.

Skewering the Meat

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

Grilling the Kebabs

Remove the kebabs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with chutney or flatbreads.

Serve
