Grilled meat skewers

Dietary considerations
Mishkak is a high-protein dish that is perfect for those following a low-carb or high-protein diet. However, it may not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance due to the use of yogurt in the marinade.

Presentation and garnishing
Mishkak can be presented on a platter with a garnish of fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
Tips & Tricks
Make sure to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before skewering the meat to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Side-dishes
Mishkak can be served with a side of naan bread, rice, or a simple salad.
Drink pairings
Pair mishkak with a cold beer or a sweet lassi to balance out the spiciness of the dish.
