Lightly braise the meat in olive oil until done. Place on skewers and set to the side. Next lightly boil the garbanzos in a saucepan with the yogurt until done. Next grind the spinach in a mortar and then add it to the garbanzo mixture. On a low heat mix in the coriander, cumin, mastic, freshly scraped cinnamon, and freshly crushed garlic cloves.
All spices are to taste.
Thicken the mixture slightly with rice flour if necessary. Dip the kabobs in the yogurt mixture and then fry lightly in olive oil until done. For a variant, marinate the beef in the yogurt mixture overnight, and then skewer the meat and coat with the mixture again before frying.
