Trim any fat from the meat the meat and cut it into 2-5-cm/1-in cubes. Grind the onion, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, coriander leaves, salt and chili powder together to give a fine paste. Mix the paste with the pieces of meat to coat them thoroughly, then leave them to marinate for 3-4 hours.
Thread the marinated meat cubes on to long metal skewers with the shallots or small onions in between. Cook under a medium-hot grill (broiler), turning frequently, or barbecue the kebabs over charcoal until the meat is well browned and tender.
Meanwhile, boil the milk with the chopped almonds in a heavy-based saucepan for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Split the cardamoms and remove the seeds, crush them lightly and sprinkle them over the sauce. Arrange the kebabs on a serving dish and serve the sauce separately.
