Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the cubed lamb into the marinade and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 4

Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, alternating with slices of red onion and bell pepper.

Step 5

Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or a grill rack.

Step 6

Drizzle olive oil over the skewers and transfer to the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the lamb is cooked through and lightly charred on the outside.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the skewers rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, optionally alongside a salad or low-carb side dish.
