Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In large bowl, mix all kabob ingredients until well blended. Divide mixture into 12 equal parts. Shape each part around 6- to 8-inch bamboo or metal skewer, pressing the mixture with your hands to cover half the length of the skewer.
  • 2
    Place kabobs on grill rack. Cover and grill kabobs over medium heat 13 to 15 minutes, turning kabobs occasionally to ensure even browning, until lamb is no longer pink in center.
  • 3
    In blender, place all chutney ingredients. Cover and blend on medium speed until smooth. Serve kabobs with chutney. Store chutney, tightly covered, in refrigerator up to 10 days.

  • This popular street food of India is often served with a simple salad of raw red onion, chiles and cilantro with wedges of lime.
  • Soak bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
  • Broiling Directions: Set oven control to broil. Place kabobs on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 2 to 3 inches from heat 13 to 15 minutes, turning kabobs occasionally to ensure even browning, until lamb is no longer pink in center.
