Grilled Tandoori Lamb Skewers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 0.5 cup lemon juice
• 0.25 cup finely minced onion
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup chopped cilantro
• 4 small fresh lemon wedges
• 1 medium red onion, sliced
• spicy cilantro chutney

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
2. Add lamb and salt to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
3. Thread lamb pieces onto skewers, ensuring they barely touch. Remove any excess marinade with a paper towel. Brush with vegetable oil and season with salt.
4. Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium heat, then lightly oil the grate.
5. Grill the skewers over medium heat, cooking until the lamb springs back when touched, approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side.
6. Optionally, garnish with red onions, lemon wedges, and fresh chopped cilantro.
