For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, you can broil the lamb skewers in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet and broil for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Serve with warm naan bread or basmati rice for a complete meal. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your spice preference.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, minced onion, crushed garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the lamb pieces and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the marinade. Toss to ensure the lamb is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (5 minutes)
03
StepThread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, ensuring they are closely arranged but not tightly packed. Gently wipe off any excess marinade with a paper towel. Brush the skewered lamb with vegetable oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. (10 minutes)
04
StepPreheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
05
StepPlace the lamb skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the lamb springs back to the touch and is cooked to your desired level of doneness. (10-14 minutes)
06
StepRemove the grilled lamb skewers from the grill. Garnish with sliced red onions, fresh lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with spicy cilantro chutney. (5 minutes)
