Garam Masala1 tsp
Saltto taste
Green Chili2
Ghee3 tbsp
Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
Lemon1
Ground Lamb500 g
Green Cardamom1 tsp
Poppy Seeds1 tsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
Chaat Masala1 tsp

Instructions

1
Work the marinade into the ground lamb with the poppy seeds — massage it like you mean it — and chill for hours, not minutes.
2
Prepare the skewers and the grill or oven — high heat, clean grates.
3
Bring the meat to room temperature while the grill heats; cold centres cook unevenly.
4
Grill hot and fast, turning every few minutes, basting with the leftover marinade or melted butter.
5
Slide off the skewers onto the ghee, hit it with lemon, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
