Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin.
Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and honey or maple syrup to the bowl, and whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the spices or sweetener if needed for balance.
If the sauce seems too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning or spice level if necessary. For more heat, add a pinch more cayenne pepper; for more tanginess, add a splash of lemon juice.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or drizzle it directly over your kebabs. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
