Soak 4 wooden skewers in cold water for 20 minutes. This will prevent them from splitting.
Preheat a barbecue grill until medium-hot.
Divide each of the minces into 4 even-sized meatballs (50g each). You will end up with 4 x pork meatballs, 4 x lamb meatballs, and 4 x beef meatballs.
Mix the curry powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, oregano, and chilli together in a small bowl. This will form the spice rub for the beef.
Rub beef meatballs in the spice mix.
Rub lamb meatballs in the tamarind paste.
Rub pork meatballs in the plum sauce.
Thread 1 beef meatball, 1 lamb meatball, and 1 pork meatball on each skewer.
Place the oil, lemon juice and parsley in a small bowl and season. Brush the meatballs with some of the oil mixture.
Place on the hot grill and cook for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes and brushing with more oil mixture until well-browned.
Remove meat skewers from the grill and place on a platter. Serve with a crisp green salad and yoghurt dressing.
Kiwis love meatballs so we’ve combined the power of the three meatball kings, beef, pork and lamb to create these spiced up meatball skewers.
