Ingredients

• 500 grams Lamb (boneless, cubed)
• 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Red onion (cut into chunks)
• 2 large Bell peppers (variety of colors, cut into chunks)
• 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tamarind paste, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the cubed lamb to the marinade. Mix well to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

While the lamb marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water if using (to prevent burning during grilling).

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into roughly 1-inch chunks.

Step 5

Once the lamb has marinated, thread the lamb cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell pepper for a colorful and flavorful kabob.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. Cook time may vary depending on the size of the lamb cubes and desired doneness.

Step 8

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Tamarind Honey Lamb Kabobs hot, alongside a fresh salad or warm flatbread.
