    Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, mix together the mince, onion, chillies, garlic powder and coriander and season to taste. Thread 3 grapes along a wooden skewer, then cover with the mince mixture to form a sausage shape. Repeat with the remaining grapes and mince and refrigerate to chill, 10 minutes.
