- Put the chick-peas (garbanzo beans) and yogurt into a blender or food processor and add the cumin, chilli powder and onion mixture.
- Blend for about 15 seconds until smooth. Alternatively, mash the chick-peas (garbanzo beans) and mix with the yogurt, cumin, chilli powder and onion.
- Tip the pureed mixture into a bowl and season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- To prepare the kebabs, cut the vegetables into large chunks and thread them on to the skewers, placing a bay leaf and lemon wedge at both ends of each kebab.
- Brush the kebabs with olive oil and cook them over the barbecue, turning frequently, for about 5-8 minutes.
