Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless lamb shoulder
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Cut the boneless lamb shoulder into 2-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to form a spice paste.
Add the spice paste to the lamb cubes and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Drizzle the olive oil and pour the coconut milk over the marinated lamb, mixing to combine.
Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Discard any remaining marinade.
Grill the skewered lamb on a preheated grill for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Alternatively, if using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until cooked through and slightly charred.
Once cooked, remove from the grill or oven and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the lamb tikka hot, garnished with fresh chopped coriander leaves.
