Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Skewer lamb pieces so they barely touch. Wipe off excess marinade with a paper towel. Brush with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
Step 5
Grill skewers on medium heat until lamb springs back to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
Step 6
Garnish with red onions, lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro as desired.
