   strange liquid things that don't stay on the skewer as they should (solve this by pan frying them for a little while to form a crust before skewering)
   
   
2. Form sausages of the mush on skewers and char grill for about 8 minutes.
   
3. Meanwhile, finally slice the red onion, capsicum and 1/2 a deseeded cucumber and chuck in a bowl with the coriander leaves.
   
4. Finely chop the mint and mix with 1/2 a grated cucumber (don't peel it!) and yoghurt, to make the raita.
