- Chop garlic.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic, water, wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour over meat cubes and stir.
- Marinate meat cubes for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to allow flavours to blend.
- Leaving about 2 inches at the bottom of each skewer, arrange pork and veal cubes alternately on wooden skewers.
- Squeeze cubes together.
- Continue to add meat until all the meat is used. You should fill 12 skewers.
- In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, curry powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a second shallow bowl, beat eggs.
- Dip skewered meat cubes in breadcrumbs.
- Coat with egg, then dip in crumbs again.
- Gently squeeze sticks with hands to make breadcrumbs flat and sticks more rounded.

- Fry skewers of meat cubes, a few at a time, until meat is lightly browned.
- Combine onions and butter and spread in a large shallow baking dish.
- Place meat sticks on top of onions.
