Ingredients
-
1 cup plain yogurt

½ cup lemon juice

¼ cup finely minced onion

2 cloves crushed garlic
-
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
-
2 teaspoons garam masala
-
2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon turmeric powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2 inch pieces
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

spicy cilantro chutney
Directions

Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until combined.
-
Toss lamb and salt into marinade; mix until lamb pieces are coated evenly. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
-
Skewer lamb pieces so they barely touch. Wipe off excess marinade with a paper towel. Brush with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
-
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Grill skewers on medium heat until lamb springs back to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
-
Garnish with red onions, lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro as desired.
