Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup plain 10% yogurt
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt and pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, tightly packed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 lbs lean ground veal
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes or 8 metal skewers
8 pita bread
iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced, to taste

Steps:

Green Onion Yogurt: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
Curry paste: In a small food processor, finely chop all the ingredients. Set aside.
Skewers: Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
In a bowl, combine the meat with the curry paste. Season with salt and pepper.
For each skewer, shape 1/8 of the meat mixture into an 18-cm (7-inch) long sausage and thread onto a skewer, pressing the meat. Brush with olive oil.
Reduce the grill's heat to medium. Grill the skewers for about 3 minutes per side or until meat is thoroughly cooked.
For each serving, cover a pita bread with lettuce and top with a kebab. Garnish with green onion yogurt, and top with more lettuce.
Tips: You can garnish with diced tomatoes and onions.
