Punjabi Lamb Kebabs
- 3/4 cup whole-milk yogurt (preferably Greek)
- 6 tablespoons mustard oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed to a pulp
- 2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons garam masala (store-bought is fine)
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless lamb from the leg, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon store-bought chaat masala, or see suggestion above
- Put the yogurt in a cloth-lined colander set in the sink.
- Leave 1015 minutes.
- Put the drained yogurt in a bowl.
- Add the oil, salt, cayenne, garlic, ginger, and garam masala and beat well with a whisk to mix.
- Add the meat and mix again.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or as long as 24 hours.
- Preheat broiler.
- Push 4 skewers through the centers of the lamb cubes, dividing them up equally.
- Leave the marinade behind.
- Brush generously with the melted butter.
- Rest the two ends of each skewer on the rim of a broiling tray (the tray catches the drips and the kebabs stay in suspension) and place the tray about 5 inches from the source of heat.
- Broil 57 minutes on the first side and another 57 minutes on the opposite or until the kebabs are done to your taste.
- Sprinkle the chaat masala over the top.
