Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly grease a broiling pan.

Step 2

Mix together the lamb, garlic, chili peppers, onion, coriander, yogurt, turmeric, lemon juice, and salt with your hands until well mixed. Roll the mixture into 15 meatballs. Thread 3 meatballs onto each skewer, separating with chunks of red bell pepper. Place onto the prepared broiling pan.
