Lemongrass Chicken Kebab (With Spicy Mashed Potatoes)

I have tasted lemongrass chicken kebab, some time back in Ole-Ole Bali, Bumbu Bali and recently in Bibiwok. These chicken kebabs were tasty with a lingering aroma from the lemongrass used to wrap the minced chicken on top.  I wanted to make something similar at  home and came up with my own recipe. I seasoned the minced chicken with ginger, garlic, crushed pepper and salt.  Next was sticking the minced chicken onto the bruised lemongrass stalks before grilling on a portable grill.

The barbecue sauce was poured over the cooked kebabs and removed from the grill.  For a complete meal, I served the kebabs with again, my own creation of the spicy mashed potatoes. This lemongrass chicken kebab will trill your taste buds, what more a meal that is utterly satisfying!!!!
