Method
- Trim the lamb of fat, then cut into 2.5cm cubes. Prick all over with a fork, then squeeze out any moisture and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Peel and finely grate the garlic and ginger, then mix with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and the remaining marinade ingredients.
- Submerge the lamb chunks in the marinade, ensuring they are covered, then pop in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat the grill to high. Thread the meat onto skewers, keeping them 2.5cm apart.
- Grill the kebabs for 5 minutes, then turn and cook them for another 2 minutes.
- Melt the butter, then use it to baste the kebabs and grill for a final 5 minutes.
- Serve straight away. Delicious with a kachumber salad, coriander leaves and lime wedges on the side.
Tips
Papaya paste is an acidic fruit paste, great for tenderising meat. Find it online at theasiancookshop.co.uk. Deggi mirch is an Indian chilli powder. You can buy it online at spicesofindia.co.uk, or just substitute it with regular chilli powder.
