Succulent Lamb Kebabs

I apologize for not posting this yesterday evening but its better late than never huh? Anyway this is the dish which went along with the Cucumber Raita I posted earlier and I must say it was just heavenly as it turned out much better than when I prepared it several months ago. I practically couldn't walk after dinner yesterday.

Marinating the lamb is probably the most important part, so let it marinate for at least 4-5 hours and don't be too hasty to just grill it before then. During the grilling process, try to get it done quickly and evenly as this will hold in the moisture and make the meat tender.

Ingredients
1 lb boneless Lamb - wash & cut into cubes
2 small OnionsOnions

Directions

2] Set aside while you thread the meat cubes into the skewer.
3] Arrange this skewer in a tray and pour the spiced yoghurt mixture over the lamb pieces.
4] Let it marinate for about 4-5 hours.
5] Then roast this in a hot grill until golden brown.
6] Serve hot with pickled onions, mint sauce or raita.

Note: You may add slices of green pepper and onions in between the cubes for extra flavors.
