10 servings

  • 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

  • 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.
