The marinade for these lamb kebabs comes together quickly, with Madras Curry Powder as the star ingredient plus oil, vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh garlic and salt. The timing on marinating the lamb is flexible as well. It's perfect for a weeknight or a weekend BBQ.
These skewers are great on the grill, but you can also make them using a grill pan or your oven.
This recipe is one of a few we shared with Sunset for their website. Check out the video: 3 Marinade Ideas for Lamb Kebabs!
