Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Tandoori Lamb Skewers.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, minced onion, crushed garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 2
Add the lamb pieces along with a teaspoon of kosher salt, stirring gently to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of four hours, though overnight is ideal for maximum flavor infusion.
Step 4
Once the lamb has marinated, carefully thread the pieces onto skewers, placing them close together but not touching.
Step 5
Use a paper towel to remove any excess marinade, then brush the skewers with vegetable oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt for added seasoning.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium heat, lightly oiling the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for approximately five to seven minutes on each side, or until the lamb is perfectly cooked and springs back when pressed.
Step 8
Serve your succulent grilled lamb skewers adorned with sliced red onions, fresh lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 9
For an extra kick, pair them with a side of spicy cilantro chutney.
Step 10
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings the vibrant flavors of the grill to your table!.
