Add the rest of the ingredients except the oil and knead mixture until all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly and mixture is smooth. Chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat over to 475 F. Line a roasting pan with foil. Divide the kab mix into about 18 balls, each slighly larger than a glf ball.

Mold a into a skewer and form into a sausage shape by gently rolling between palms ( about 405" long) and place in the preheat pan. Make the rest the kababs the same way. Brush generously with the oil and place the roasting pan just below the top rung of the oven. Cook 6-8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the kababs liberally with the remaining oil and cook for a further 6-8 minutes. Allow the kababs to cool slightly before removing from skewers.
