Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tandoori spice blend
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 lb lamb shoulder, cubed
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 piece lime wedges

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine Greek yogurt, tandoori spice blend, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, stirring until smooth and well combined. The marinade should be a vibrant orange-red color and fragrant with spices.

  2. 2

    Add the cubed lamb to the marinade and toss until every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat (around 400°F). Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, spacing them about 0.5 inch apart to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Lightly brush the hot grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers directly on the grates and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the lamb is charred on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F for medium).

  5. 5

    Transfer the skewers to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the kebabs.
