  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the lamb to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of spice according to your preference. Add more chili powder for extra heat or reduce it for a milder flavor.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover lamb skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
