  • Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until combined.
  • Toss lamb and salt into marinade; mix until lamb pieces are coated evenly. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.

  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Grill skewers on medium heat until lamb springs back to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
  • Garnish with red onions, lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro as desired.
