Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a dry frying pan over low heat, heat cumin and spices Garam masala and cordamom until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the onion powder and garlic, then transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the yogurt, paprika, curry powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
  2. Thread 4 lamb cubes onto each skewer, alternating them with green onion pieces, leaving about 1/3 of the skewer as a handle. Arrange them in a shallow glass dish and pour the yogurt mixture over them (turning as needed to completely coat the meat). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.

  3. Grease the grill with an oiled paper towel and preheat to medium-high heat. Angle the skewers to create nice grill stripes and grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.

    Serve the kebabs with cilantro basmati rice or orzo with green onions and butter, and optionally raita (a yogurt-vegetable sauce).
