INDIAN SPICED BARBECUED LAMB

Yogurt-based marinades create a delicious thin crust when they char, so are ideal for barbecues

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 butterflied leg of lamb , about 2.5kg/5lb 8oz (ask your butcher to do this for you)
finger-length piece ginger , chopped
4 garlic cloves , roughly chopped
1 tbsp each turmeric , garam masala and cumin seeds
1 tsp paprika
handful coriander leaves, plus extra sprigs to serve
juice 1 lemon
150ml natural yogurt

Steps:

  • Using a hand blender or mini food processor, whizz marinade ingredients to a smooth paste, then season with salt. Lay the lamb in a ceramic dish and coat with the marinade. Cover in cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hrs or preferably overnight.
  • If you are using a charcoal barbecue, wait for the coals to become white and glowing (light the barbecue about an hour before you want to cook the lamb). If using a gas barbecue, cook the lamb over medium heat. Lift lamb out of the marinade and barbecue, flesh-side down, for about 25 mins. Flip it over and give the fat side about 15 mins. When the lamb has a dark brown crust and is cooked to your liking, leave it to rest on a board for 15 mins. (If the weather forces you indoors, the lamb can be roasted at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for about an hour for pink meat; the breads can be cooked on a very hot griddle).
  • To serve, carve the lamb into thick slices and scatter with the coriander and some of the Pickled red onion (see below). Serve the remaining onion in a dish alongside the raita and breads (see recipes, below).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Use fresh, ground lamb with a fat content of around 20% for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a food processor to grind the lamb: This will ensure that the lamb is evenly ground and will help to create a smooth kebab mixture.
  • Add plenty of spices: The spices are what give these kebabs their distinctive flavor. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala.
  • Let the kebab mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and will help to tenderize the lamb.
  • Cook the kebabs over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the kebabs while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce: Mint chutney, yogurt sauce, or tamarind sauce are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Indian spiced lamb kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're grilling them in the backyard or cooking them in the oven, these kebabs are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give these Indian spiced lamb kebabs a try.
