Mix well with your hands for 1 minute until sticky. Shape into 12 fat sausages around metal skewers, or leave them skewer free.

Chill for 15 minutes so they hold together. Meanwhile stir the yoghurt, mint and a squeeze of lemon together.

Toss the red onion and chilli with the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
