Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp tandoori masala spice blend, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well to make a marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed lamb leg to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by mixing 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves and 1/2 cup finely diced cucumber in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
Step 4: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, brush with 2 tbsp olive oil, and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and cooked to medium doneness.
Step 5: Serve the hot lamb kebabs alongside the chilled mint yogurt sauce for dipping.
