Ingredients

🍖 4 pounds of lamb, boneless leg, trimmed and cubed
🧂 1 tablespoon salt
🌿 1/2 teaspoon cumin
🌶️ 1/2 tablespoon paprika
🌑 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧄 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
🧅 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
🍋 The juice of half a lemon (use a whole lemon if small)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Lamb:

• Begin by trimming the fat from the boneless leg of lamb and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
• Rinse the lamb cubes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they are free from excess moisture.

2- Marinate the Lamb:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, cumin, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, and lemon juice.
• Mix thoroughly to form a marinade.
• Add the lamb cubes to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the spice mixture.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight.

3- Prepare the Grill:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

4- Assemble the Skewers:

• Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

5- Grill the Lamb Tikka:

• Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
• Cook the lamb for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.

6- Serve and Enjoy:

• Once done, remove the skewers from the grill.
• Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
• Enjoy your Lamb Tikka with a side of fresh salad or naan bread.
