Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chistorra sausages — Ensure that the sausages are fresh and of high quality for the best flavor and texture.
• Muhajir spices — Adjust the spice levels according to your preference. You can increase or decrease the amount of red chili powder to make the dish spicier or milder.

Tips & Tricks

• Soaking the skewers in water before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
• Serve the skewers with a side of mint chutney or yogurt dip for a refreshing contrast to the spicy flavors.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the skewers on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven under the broiler.

Serving advice

Serve the Muhajir Spiced Sausage Skewers hot as an appetizer or as a main course accompanied by naan bread or rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for added freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the skewers on a platter, allowing the vibrant colors of the spices and the charred sausages to take center stage. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
