Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon, ground
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon, ground
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped for garnish
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and has a nice char.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or flatbread.
