To grill the kebabs in the oven,preheat the oven at 220 C and place the rack in the upper third of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes till browned.

If you are using a microwave as I did,place the big rack on the rotating glass tray and place a cake tray lined with aluminum foil to catch the drips while grilling.

Place the skewers with the meat on the rack and press grill option and grill for 18-20 minutes,rotating as needed to brown the kebabs evenly all around.

Once the kebabs are cooked,remove to a serving plate and garnish with onion rings,cucumber & Carrot slices and lemon wedges .Serve with pita breads and Coriander Chutney
