Ingredients:

Serving

800 g lamb fillets (depending on appetites my hubby and son will eat 3 to 4 kebabs each where as i'm happy with 2)
3 tbsp tandoori paste
150 g plain yogurt , pot
1 tbsp lemon juice
300 g plain yogurt
1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped (120g)
1 1/2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tsp mint sauce
2 (100 g) packages quick cook instant couscous (the brand i buy come in 100g individual sachets for 4 servings it is between 150g-200g )
1 tsp vegetable stock powder
1 small red pepper, finely chopped
1/2 small yellow pepper, finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

Prep time does not include marinating time.
Chop lamb into about 1 inch cubes, combine paste, yogurt and lemon juice, add lamb and marinate several hours or overnight.
Either thread lamb on metal skewers or if using wooden skewers make sure they are soaked for 20-30 Min's in water to prevent burning during cooking.
Cook lamb on BBQ or grill 4-6 inches from heat until cooked as desired. (approx 5-10 Min's a side, medium rare-medium well).
Raita.
In a medium size bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, mint and mint sauce mix well and refrigerate until needed.
Couscous.
If using quick cooking sachets I add 1 teaspoon of chicken stock powder to the water, bring to boil and add the sachets for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and add couscous to a large bowl and fluff. If using another type of couscous prepare according to packet.
Add both peppers, red and green onions, mint and parsley combine well.
Combine vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil in screw top jar shake well. Pour over couscous and mix well.
To serve place couscous on plate top with kebab and drizzle with raita.
