This was really, really good. I made it the night before which is a great time saver. It had a nice flavour and the meat was so tender. Definitely will make again . I have also made the chicken to step three and then frozen. - 31 Jul 2011
These were easy to make and had just the right amount of spice... I'll make them again and perhaps try them on the bbq next summer. - 30 Sep 2008
That was probably the best kebab ever I have done or eaten during my whole life (I eat home-made kebabs very regularly). When chicken tights were ready I cut them in small bites and served in home-made pitta bread with fresh tomatos and sliced onion, topped up with curry and chilli sauce. Winner of all times!!! - 31 Jul 2016
