Indian Lamb Kebabs

My mum has been making these forever!  They are really popular at family barbecues, you can make kebabs as in the original recipe or use the marinade on lamb chops which is much cheaper if feeding a crowd.

The list of ingredients sounds a bit daunting but it really is worth it and it is quicker than you think to throw together.

1.5kg boned leg of lamb, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp crushed dried curry leaves (I've never found these at the supermarket so I leave them out)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs sesame oil
2 Tbs peanut oil (if you don't have this just use a plain vegetable oil)
1 Tbs lemon juice

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.  Add the lamb, stir and cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3hrs - it is much better left to marinate for a couple of days so this is definitely a plan ahead meal!  Thread onto skewers and bbq.

Serve with Pilau
