During our travels to Fiji, I fell in love with East Indian cooking. I developed this recipe in 1994 and it made a big hit with our East Indian friends. This recipe is not difficult to make, takes a bit of time preparing but the results are great.

Tips for Making Ugandan Kabobs:

  • Choose the right meat: Beef, chicken, or goat are all popular choices for Ugandan kabobs. Be sure to use fresh, high-quality meat.
  • Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes: This will help ensure that the kabobs cook evenly.
  • Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Skewer the meat: Use metal skewers to skewer the meat cubes. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Grill the kabobs: Grill the kabobs over medium heat until they are cooked through. Be sure to turn the kabobs frequently to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the kabobs hot: Ugandan kabobs are best served hot with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
