Ingredients

• Venison (cubed) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh mint (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Wooden skewers - 4 (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, chopped mint, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the cubed venison to the marinade and mix well to coat all pieces. Cover the bowl and let the venison marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated venison cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the venison is cooked to your desired doneness and has a nice char.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
