Prepare the grill by lighting the charcoal or wood using a firestarter, charcoal chimney, or firelighters.

Let the coals or wood burn until covered with white ash, indicating readiness for cooking.

Optionally, marinate the meat in advance with spices, herbs, and marinades for at least 30 minutes.

Once the coals are ready, spread them evenly in the grill and place the meat directly over the coals or flame, turning regularly for even cooking.

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat: 145°F for medium rare beef, 160°F for chicken, and 145°F for lamb.

Allow the grilled meat to rest for a few minutes before serving to keep it tender.

Prepare the marinade for siswadla by mixing lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, paprika, and salt in a bowl (optional).

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

If marinating, place chicken pieces in a zip-top bag or bowl, pour the marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers (use metal or soaked wooden skewers).

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken skewers for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.

Remove the siswadla from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Prepare the borrowers by cutting them into individual lengths if needed.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the borrowers for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

Optionally, spread butter or margarine on the inside of the rolls and lightly toast them on the grill.

Assemble the borrowers rolls by placing a sausage inside each roll and adding desired toppings (tomato sauce, mustard, grilled onions, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, coleslaw).

Serve the borrowers rolls hot.
