Grilled Tandoori-Style Lamb Skewers
Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely minced onion
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 small fresh lemon wedges
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • spicy cilantro chutney
Instructions
1
Combine yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until everything is well incorporated.
2
Add the lamb to the marinade and mix until it's evenly coated, making sure each piece is fully covered.
3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Thread the lamb pieces onto skewers so they're almost touching each other, leaving a small gap between them.
5
Use a paper towel to wipe off any excess marinade from the lamb pieces, and then brush them with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
6
Heat a grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grates with oil before adding the skewers.
7
Cook the lamb skewers on medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until it's tender and springs back when touched.
8
Serve the lamb skewers hot, garnished with thinly sliced red onions, lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro if desired.
